Kitchen Sorrow
When I see kitchen I see sorrow
it is in this chamber where daily
my appetite is cremated and ashes
systematically placed in dishes
and damped in family dining table
dining table of misery and gloom
Yet each week I am asked by chef
to purchase more items to enhance
and seal my unhappiness
Cooking and serving without care
each day I fear starvation
I fear dehydration in this place
as I continue to feed on ashes
of cremated appetite.
