Soft Tofu

How to Eat Soft Tofu
 
Glistening purity quivering.
Luscious vulnerability
Scooped from a wooden box
And placed carefully in a blue ceramic bowl
Of concentric ink blooms.
A Soft body,
Curdled in its own milk.
Holding the ladle spoon gently,
Dipping into the near whiteness (near yellowness),
It slides down ones throat

And away.
A dream not quite remembered
but still breathing in ones silent mouth.
