A secret ingredient hidden in all the dishes holds us together in fleur de lis, conversation looping, reversing in retrograde, central themes reviving.
Frogs creak in the trees outside. Fall's first cold draws filaments to bind us: we are in love, we are all in love, not just with
gin or spring rolls, crispy rice, spiced cucumbers. We are thinking about each other's skin, the glow of our minds. A night of germination, of
honey and constellations, anything might happen.
