The Shape of Sweetness

Fragment image
A winter afternoon. The cat curls up, and so do I — softened by sweetness, hunched by thought.

豆大福や、なぜ君はそんなに丸いんだい？
Oh daifuku, why are you so round?

猫はこたつでまるくはなるが、
Cats curl up under the kotatsu, sure —

私はお腹が丸くなってしまうかも。
but I may just end up round in the belly.

大福食べて、猫背になって、我またタイピングす。
Eating daifuku, slouching like a cat, and I — type once more.
