Unexpected Meal
by Asena Lourenco
He would not live, nor would he die
He would not smile, nor would he cry
Because the curse was kicking in
Buried in blood up to his chin.
Silently screaming in a world far away
Yet somehow still also here today.
There’s someone in my house, here with me
Here in the kitchen, here for tea
Stuck in a machine, cold in the heat
Lying on the dish ready to eat…
