stems
buying corn by the pound, my roommates and i buy way too much and we make elotes in the aftermath. floor littered with flat green stems, conversation loud, we have long stopped checking whether or not the buckets are still underneath us.
Amour Maorie Ellis is a high school junior from New Jersey and she likes making crepes too much for her own good. You can find her work in The Aurora Review and you can find her sprawled on her dorm room floor trying to write to I Bet on Losing Dogs.
