Not for cold storage

A shriveled apricot
last of its lot
in a refrigerator

Even in this
mushy state
does the seed
stay as
disconnected
as ever

Protome

Every pot
out of
the potters bowl

Even the
ceramic plates
on display
at
Danish Christmas.

Painted Beaker

Tea in
glasses
with
flowers or
leaves of
green and
white

Gadroon

Betel juice
ground in
a palm sized
soft black
mortar and pestle

permeates
with phlegm
sand in
the hourglass
Brass spittoon

marks the intervals
of grannies tales

Store bought perfection

On my first attempt
to have a
Vanilla cup cake
from the ziploc bag

Dampness
on the top
stopped me

Then again
it must be how
they look
while munching
I wondered
how store bought
they taste

A german chocolate
cupcake half eaten
with no base
the topping of
chocolate
and coconut
caramel
and pecan
fell down

forcing me to
have another

Thankfully
my dislike
for fondant
worked in
my favor
from keeping
me away from
a pina colada
cupcake

I should try that
next time.

Window shopping at grocery store

Green cauliflowers on the top
of a group of cauliflowers
like a color-it page
with one box colored in
green crayon
and rest left blank

Baby cauliflowers
look better than
brussel sprouts
