For Amp

I pull my lunch out of the freezer and my attention is caught by the ice crystals on the food, the way they glitter in the light. It looks like a frozen landscape, lentils underfoot like pebbles, carrots and beans jutting out like rocks. I think about inviting you here, to walk among the ice crystals. We could be explorers, scaling frozen vegetables, scratching patterns into the ice, pausing to lean against a bean and nibble at grains of rice. See, this is what I eat. This is where I live.
