Life\u2019s too small without freshly cut coriander
Generously sprinkled on kadhai chicken.
Mint leaves blitzing their way with tomatoes
Ripe from the vine to the fingers dripping chutney \u2013
Fragrances of earth between all this concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe one day I\u2019ll be able to handle ginger\u2019s zest,
Coconut\u2019s ambition, potato\u2019s melancholy,
And turmeric\u2019s desire to cure everyone.
I will prepare the meat myself. I need you,
I promise, to enhance the flavour a bit.
Pluck me when you need some flavour too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
