Men love
                          silence in women

                          Said aunt Pema.
                          Use fingers to count

                           The years of the sun.
                           Graze lips against its first advance.

                           When tea is cold,
                            allow to spill.

                            What comes warm
                            is good warm.
      
                            The right hand kneads barley.
                            Left washes your bottom.

                            The rest
                            is fate.
