A colleague once gave me, on paper, A recipe written by hand For Passover rolls And one of her goals Was for choices I’d make to expand. Though they can’t substitute for a bagel Or some sourdough or seeded rye, For the holiday week When some bread I might seek, They’re a stand-in on which I rely.

I, naughtily, peeled and peeled you to find the truth within, You have, dear, taught me the philosophy of nothingness; Each of your petals, like magical herbs, tickles my skin, Each leaf, as a united nation, enwraps your thickness...!
