FERMENTATION


In a flower-pattern glass jar,

add sliced carrots and daikon.

An orange and white sunrise,

suspended in clear air above.

Pour over vinegar of sour days,

and sugar of sweet ones.

Many times, there is nothing to do

but wait. A week later, and

your circumstances may change.

Very little is as immediate

and joyful as the crunch-crunch

of fresh, home-made pickles.
