Palates can be palettes of the soul, As tastes can paint a picture of the past. So might ritual foods make memories last, Summoning up fond fragments of the whole. Of matzah, then, charoset, bitter herb, Vivid harbingers of what has been, Each Pesach sing, and with your tongue again Recall the revelation that they serve. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
