Good Taste
Wild mountain wind woman
apricot sweet, mushroom mysterious,
you gather your daughters,
your berries, your herbs
and fill the house with earth.
Wielding our kitchen knives,
we cut away all that is old and bitter,
leaving only a good taste.
I have carved a space for you
behind my eyes
and see you each time
I am startled by happiness.
