My Pantry
My Pantry
I panicked in the storm, afraid
nothing to bargain or trade
sustenance or reprieve
bewildered and bereaved
to acquire or do without
I walked for miles in doubt
through the tempestuous skies
I looked at the field behind my eyes
I circled around and found
my pantry still abound
the sheesham shelves were old
the walls covered in mold
a smiling monsoon
coconut ladoos likened to the moon
stolen biscuit jars
theyโd travelled from afar
half eaten cadburyโs bars
reminiscent of sibling wars
jars of kindness
marmalade bitter and timelessย ย
pickles of surprise
cakes made of rice
curiosity in spice caddies
an old healer of maladies
my fears left me to wander
my will now fed and stronger
I had no reason to despair
my pantry overflowing, I had so much to share
A look through my own emotional larder in times of a pandemic.
