I tried to make a meal out of the rechauffe my life became so
I.
I picked a pot whose lid trembles with the force of my sorrows as I stand blinded by the tears that lay agonizingly in my eyes’ bed
II.
Emptied my lies out into a bowl and added a pinch of misery as I whisk and watch them disappear into a smooth batter
III.
Add two cups water and stir away the anxiety that fights a losing battle with hope as my reality take a turn for the worse
IV.
cut open an olive whose insides feel as raw as a flesh a wound instilled by the desire that has me crawling back to the pit of despair unabashedly
V.
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and sprinkle depression as a final touch bake on a medium and taste the aroma of doubt worship the air
— My redemption became the oil that sizzles
on a pan as fear swallows me whole and you watch me drown in the pool of my transgressions
Beautiful and creative
