Noodle Set: A Poem

July 12, 2022 Sarah Hinlicky Wilson

Soba.

Buckwheat slither,

okra neat, inhaled with

her throatwardly chopsticked gesture.

Soba.

Udon.

Under a blue-

tiled roof, stomp the dough like

wine grapes to the west. Sip, chew, gone.

Udon.


Sōmen.

Sunning on ice.

Yellow, matcha green, or

in the buff. So then: skinny dip?

Sōmen.

Rāmen.

Wordless but not

silent, prayerful slurping

in an itadaki-amen.

Rāmen.

(These are cinquains: poems in lines of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 2 syllables. Words and photos by Sarah Hinlicky Wilson, except for the ramen photo by Andrew L. Wilson.)
