Cuddling boyhood memories
extracting every smell, every touch
from the craving in his belly . . .
Celebes
soft spongy soil under bare feet
thick jungle air
sweet sticky rice
eaten with fingers
on banana leaf plates
his heart
washed up on the wrong shore
washed up on the wrong shore
misplaced
his tears
fall foreign
fall foreign
