CKT

It has been a long sweaty, restless night for me,
I have been tossing and turning in our
sunken-in-the-middle bed
haunted by dreams, images, scents
it is the loud growling of my tummy that finally wakes me

I turn to the Bee, he cracks one eye open
and says "I love you"
I look at him, and I say
"I love Char Kway Teow"

Three months, two days, to proper
Penang Char Kway Teow.
