Dough Boy Poem by Matthew Zeller

Dough Boy

Rating: 4.0


Floured hands kneaded,
pressed palms of her hands,
shaped to how she wanted.
She rolled him.
Just right. Flat.

Sprinkled a little more flour on
the cutting board
to avoid sticking.
Thin strips, twisted to
a pretzel of his former self.
Salted wounds, baked alive.

Washed her hands of him.
Devoured half,
threw the rest away.
