Chole and tandoori pork:
pungent invaders:
fenugreek, garam masala, turmeric, cardamom:
home for you and foreign to me:
pockets of resistance to bland expectations.
I am delighted by cuisine that is not mine.
Spicy platoons of cloves, coriander, and ginger
are welcomed and blended with a deep warm chai:
alive with the heady stirrings of a country I have never
seen –
cannot imagine.
Mind's eye is enlivened and then
almond cake cools.
