The pantry stands solemn a quiet repository

The pantry stands solemn, a quiet repository,

where time has stuffed away its secrets—

a jar spills, and spices scatter like dreams,

everything molding, fading—like light in the night.


A solitary can, dented and forgotten,

sits in the corner, a reminder of hopes,

a shelf of things once vibrant, now stale,

like memories left to gather dust, to disappear.
