Now, as a young man, I’m

Small enough to fit in

Your palm. Devour me as

Banchan so that I can know

What it was like to eat

With you. Just make sure

 

to regurgitate me, cook

Me down, use me as

Tallow so that we can all

Eat deliciously at my

First birthday.

 

Oh - save my little finger.

Wrap it in cabbage. Throw it

In the pickling solution

So that I can contribute to

Our family’s sohn-maht.

 

Let my collagen emboss itself

On your lips.
