the silent snail living in

may we always have
just enough to share – like growing
so much perilla
that we can invite both friends

in the record
in the record
of how
perilla found its way
into our kitchen, inspiring

was inescapable,
and the tenderness
of wrists,
so naturally
interwoven

twig snapped and lit
into me such
unmanned sobs –
one moment, i was
dry, the next,
my sleeves were
defenselessly
soaked
