- Des(s)erted-

Apron pressed to granite,  

she calls Siri for a song,  

and Ella moves her  
to rolling pin, pie pan,  

stained card in an old hand.  

Heavy cloth bag of green apples. 

Humming “How About Me?” she skims  

the polished wooden floor, 

gathers spoons and spices. 

Reaches through the window, 

pulls shutters tight  

as lightning cracks.
