hard roti
she complains with rolling pin fingers
tears the paper-thin bread
into scraps for dogs
you try again,
harder,
daalboiling beside you
softened tomato tipping over the lid
onto the steamed stove top,
red lentil water drowning out the flames.
you roll another roti,
slap it into the pan,
fuming with the scent of gasoline.
-roti, Kelsey Ray Banerjee
