Today I want to praise my coriander plants:
How they poked through second-hand soil after just two days
rather than the two weeks I was told to expect.
How they glow green on the summer window ledge
giving off a heady aroma every time I brush past.
How they transform my hurried cooking
into something that tastes like real curry.
How they make me imagine
feast days in the tropics.
