Delicately
She touched
The vessel

Thinking of its history

Wondering who had made it
And what messages it contained.

They sat in the forest
Preparing their evening meal
On the wood fire.

Of all the scents coming from the roasting vegetables
The onion was the most pungent.

Sitting in her home
In Berkeley, Northern California,
She opened the plastic bag

– a present he had brought her from his recent visit to Armenia–

And
held the dried laurel leaf in her hand

Smelling its fragrance
And imagining
The leaves
–once fresh–
On a laurel tree,
Somewhere in Armenia.
