Walking home from school to Grandma Takahashi's quarters in
block #7
I passed Obasan Mina Makuuchi's quarters in #7
were the odors of ginger carp soup would draw me in*
Delectable, nourishing...I've yearned to recover it since...
Forty-five years later, needing revitalization,
I searched for her only remaining younger daughter**
Hoping she still boils my secret soul soup,
my mojo go juice,
my magic nectar of the gods
* Sis stayed with Mom's mother while Ma and Pa worked " outside "
** Aunt Dot whose memory was burned out about the camp like a hole in the
donut
