6th - I Dream of Spices | Reading

6th - I Dream of Spices | Reading


 

 

My mother would say:
    Little boy Raj...
    Go to Muthu’s
    and get some
cinnamon, betel leaves
and ginger and garlic.”

And so I go to the shops
    singing all the way
and when Muthu asks me
    what I’d want
I rattle off a list:
Sesame seeds, onions
tomatoes and pickles

And back home,
Mother twists my ears
    Ouch!

I Dream of Spices
Raj Arumugam
