Having had Andrew's relations from all over but mainly from Singapore for a week, I thought about the Lantern Festival which is a big deal in Chinese culture. I came across an older poem that I wrote which pays homage to that celebration.
Mid-Autumn Delights
Around the curve of a night road
surfaces a rising moon
wide as the street-way, itself,
golden as the mooncakes in the box.
A harvest treat filled
with lotus paste, a taste of your past,
a foreign flavor on my tongue.
A total turnabout
from yesterday's apple pie.
