A Palate That Never Wearies


The unfortunate human disorder
a palate that never wearies
of steamed baby pig in garlic
of roast duck with pepper and salt
of deboned raw fish mince
of unskinned fried pork cheek
unaware of the bitterness of others' lives
as long as their own are sweet

---Cold Mountain---
