food waste

Abhirami Senthilkumaran, India-Canada

 

soft and squishy

I find in my kitchen

an over-ripe mango

destined for the bin

wiping a tear

I imagine

all the animals slaughtered

packaged and frozen

for the landfill.

 

Abhirami Senthilkumaran is still getting the hang of the art and heart of adulting. The two things she cannot do without on the journey are hot, spicy food and warm, heartfelt words.
