In The Kitchen

After School Stories
By Rory, age 9
From Mayo, living in Dublin
March 2024
In the kitchen where the pasta boils
The floor is covered in aluminium foil
The fridge covered in magnets and lists
The room is full of boiling mist
On the counter there is half a loaf of bread
A butter knife and a book, unread
An unchopped onion on the board, posters of singers on the door
At night all is hushed, no more people
no more rush
