Seize
Brian Komei Dempster
 
Blue flame
                                        in the eye's corner,
stove on
                    high, we brace1
                                        for his flint
                    and spark, our dark
surprise, his smile
                                        jolts2, head
                    unleashed3, little body
                                                          arched, straining
                                        in the high
chair, we stand
                                  to face
                    anything, she steadies
                                        his tray, eggs bubble
                    in the pot, I lunge
                                        for his spoon, his purple
elephant, water boils
                                        over sides, we look
                    to each other, sense
the sizzle, his bowl
                    clattering4, a reverse
                                                        crater5, we shake off
                                        faults, shells
                    crack, window
shut, we smell
                                        the heat, hardened
                                                        yolks, his brain's singed6
                    gray, the scorched7
black dome8,
                we are all
                                hollowed out.
