(india)

I love pudding,
of course,
Especially the
kind they make
in India, where
everything is
fair game for
dessert.
Truly my kind
of place.
Carrot khir,
or cornmeal.
Sweet potato,
the familiar rice.
I made up my
mind once
to live my life
having dessert
first.
In all things.
But I have
forgotten
to have dessert
at all.
