Sarawak Auntie

the water is low
so we push the boats
the fox, gamey and chewy
elicits culinary felicity
so we please our hosts
with our gluttony
what do we share
what commonality
in Sarawak, here
up river and cultures apart
how is it we share
so much but cultures apart
I know
when I see
my father-mother-brother-sister-uncle-auntie-cousin
adoring
the One whom I adore
