O glamourless ordinary rice

Love Poem to Rice by Mong-Lan

O glamourless ordinary rice
i hardly even thunk of you take you for granted
blandly you drone
white brown red
& shades in between
a constant love

from the terraces and steppes from the partitioned
fields
unhusked

young strapling

life wouldn’t be a life without you

[John Durham]

nothing ordinary here - wonderful capture

[CristinaL]

@jtdurham thank you so much, John!
