A being can crawl into a kreplach
Or expand within a stuffed shell
Fists clenched, rageless.
Blintz bliss in a girdle of papery crepe -
A snug lumpia in hand
Softens a beast in the body.
A vessel, full filled, becomes
Pillows for smallest children,
Vital hugs, dumplings.
A breast, a pierogi
Embraced by slender
Rinds of vellum and pulp.
To be or to ravioli,
The pot stickers
Have answers, have nature.
