Adult Poetry Contest Winner 2015 (Free Verse) Second Rise

But I left the cutting board, the red-handled knife, my own breakfast, to dash down these lines

about rising dough in grey light.

The apple will wait, contained, slick, cold in its uncut ruddy skin, until I come back.

These words won’t. Uninked they would drift like the faint scent of baking out the open window not even a trail of crumbs to show where the poem went.
