Steaming tea trickles elegantly into a milk-thin procelain cup;
\ngleaming pea soup glops heavily into a rough stone bowl.
\nSome nibble crisps; other gobble chunks of peasant bread:
\nbrown-hulled rice and white, hulled rice: slim manicured fingers;
\ncalloused, weathered, chunky, work-hardened mitts.<\/p>\n
One grabs a burlap bag of oats and muscles it up a ramp into a loft;
\nanother details the scented pomegranate seeds edging his saucer.<\/p>\n
One eats pork, another pig; one boils old bull, another sautees beef steak.<\/p>\n
Appreciate sun edged dew-moistened lettuce;
\nsniff fresh wintergreen bordering a worn mossy trail.
\nGrab the tea cup with a fist, sip delicately;
\nsavour cold corned beef and salty cabbage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
