Food II
Laid out
Side by side
That final two
Cold cold metal
Beneath
Warm yet harsh
Spotlights above
Long moments pass
And then
Motion
Rising
Floating
Dropping swoop
Towards a lighted room
Onto chromed steel rack
Door slams
Flames leap
From concealed burner
Temperature
Rising, rising, rising
Side by side
That final two
Cold cold metal
Beneath
Warm yet harsh
Spotlights above
Long moments pass
And then
Motion
Rising
Floating
Dropping swoop
Towards a lighted room
Onto chromed steel rack
Door slams
Flames leap
From concealed burner
Temperature
Rising, rising, rising
Skin crisping
Internal fluids bubbling
Leaking...
Stale strawberry donuts, oven warmed
With custard…
