The Nine Sun Tzu Hungers
February 13, 2022
in dispersive ground, takeaway will do
a curry is ideal, so long as there is plenty
family togetherness is important
potluck is likewise ideal
but should not be easily transported
until the meal is complete
socialization increases togetherness
cooking here is a hearth away from home
often friendly, invariably temporary
in facile ground, takeaway will still do
but trained for easy movement
cold pizza, rice balls, and dumplings
cooking here is a hearth one has attained
often unfriendly, and transience is heightened
in contentious ground, whether by takeaway
or by logistics train, meals best those things
slipped easily into pockets �� pasties, wrapped rice
dry meat and hard cheese that lasts in cool
in heat, best reduced to cured things
cooking here is the illusion of hearth
a smokeless fire, a camp soup under guard
easily chugged for rolling motion
in open ground, trail food is cured meat
fruit and fat in mix, marching food
riding food, the food of tight-packed logistics
always in train, and sometimes the surprises
that takeaway has arrived all the same
wrapped in that contemporary combination of lies
meals, ready, to eat
cooking here is in snatches, hearthless
but still, toasting bread and fat is home-memory
warm and remembering, or foraged
on intersecting highways, takeaway may do again
and it begins to sound as though
takeaway will almost always do
but it ��s only sometimes that delight of filling sandwich
or meat sliced in layers from the spit
in some comfortable roadside barracks or compong
prepared pits, both for cooking and for what ��s left
cooking here is often comfort, but aware
that train is train is train, fast flowing
and hearth surrounded is rapidly removed
in serious ground, one ��s hearths are stolen
quiet, often dark, stock a question of train
or of forage, and whatever food one makes
by invention or sacrifice, will have to do
and still one finds takeaway at times
but trusts it ill, and checks the wells
cooking here is a map of cascade
procured by train, or waylaid
one step from hunger
in difficult ground, often one finds the best of foods
provided one travels small, sweet, and quiet
delicious things in wilderness, small train for spice
those weird moments of takeaway when monastery ��s beer
thinned twice and breaded, make clear one ��s memories
goat and deer taken comfortably
cooking here is smokeless fire and time
resting and moving, resting and moving
an endurance dinner, and then another
hemmed ground, one ��s dinner is trained
whatever can fit the gaps, manage the paths
seeking that one place where one might rest
controlled of position, and of a rock
make hearth and table both, for minutes or moments
before finding or breaking contact
just stuffing whatever in, and moving
cooking here is reaching into pack or pocket
miming the memory of warm things
where takeaway might arrive from above at any moment
an avalanche of stone, or adversary
in death ground, food is rolling waves
because failing to eat is failing to live
a matter of time, of endurance, of seeking breaks
the childhood games at quarry, medic yelling
hydrate, sealing what they can
moving on, and mouth full
plugging the hole
cooking here is the cauldron
food is everyone, a stew
in chaos formed
