Cold Memories

At midnight, the fridge remains open, breathing a blue light.
Memory blooms among shiny cans and trembling frozen goods.
Each shelf is a petal of time that smells of lemon.
Nomads of the past crowd the shelves without asking permission.
From the whirring of the fan, a flower of memory is born.
Cold petals open among trembling lights and forgotten bread.
To open the chill is to open a window onto yesterday.
I close the door, and remains the echo of that scent that will not leave.
