Chopsticks

Poetry of the hand
In conversation with the mouth -

Small portions clenched
Between two sticks then teeth -

We chew mouthfuls before we swallow,
Digesting text spiced with subtext -

After separating fake wasabi
And Kikkoman soy sauce

From the palate-cleansing ginger,
We work the meat from light to dark;

At our sushi bar raw art is edible
In smaller portions of incredible meaning -

Read my seaweed tongue in the darkness
As you deep kiss dead fish and rice.
