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.
