Villanelle on the Wok
No, Construction Never Ends
The aromatics, which fill your home intrigue your friends
When green onion, garlic, and ginger start to form
Your patina, of which construction never ends
Then they’re removed and thrown into the bin
Kept far away, as not to reform
The aromatics, which fill your home and intrigue your friends
The addition of each new ingredient lends
Its own qualities to the concoction that swarms
Your patina, of which construction never ends
Fish oil, soy sauce, or wine easily can bend
Unstimulating sapor and transform
The aromatics, which fill your home intriguing your friends
The scent is now familiar to guests and sends
A message which apparently reads storm
Your patina, of which construction never ends
Food serves as a wonderful medium to mend
Broken hearts. Relationships can be transformed
When the aromatics fill your home and intrigue your friends
Who marvel at your patina, of which construction never ends
