A haunting dance of hunger and grief, survival measured in what we consume and deny.

A smear of mango pickle, the curve of roti, a poem of memory.

Sweetness and sacrifice intertwine, and hunger binds us to the ancient cycles of life, death, and rebirth.

Read this rhythmic chant of ingredients and transformation, and become captivated by the alchemy of the kitchen.

A gathering of gods from diverse cultures, where divine beings share space and sustenance, transcending boundaries to break bread together.

A lush meditation on summer’s fleeting bounty,
where fruit becomes memory, and winter the reckoning.

Set against the backdrop of wildfires,
the poem explores the uneasy privilege of pleasure in the face of others’ devastation.
