Rice
I need the feel of you now,
for biryani vegetable rice with hot nan.
It's a lot to ask.
When walking by the window, the abstract
overwhelms the concrete.
It's a lot to ask of me,
to stare through a window
like a desirable standing at the undesired bowing.
It requires a shift of identity,
for rice to become worm-meal.
I am the aching want
for your saffron and grain.
