Leftovers by Lenitschka


Garbage
Abandoned
Forgotten
The back of the icebox is a lonely place
A place where we sit
And wait

We wait
For others
To join us
For once arrived nevermore do they see the light
Nor the joy of being
Consumed

Salad
Spagahetti
Enchilada
These single servings my only companions here
In this place of
Desolation

The mold
Comes creeping
To my innards
We try to evade the green fuzz and stench but still
There is no escape.
Not for us

Us here
Forgotten
Abandoned
We stay, we wait, we languish
We are the lonely ones
Leftovers

The left behind.
