Clotted, it’s sold in sacks packed solid as the dark rye-bread they eat in ‘Eastern Bloc’ countries, or black pudding made of dried blood. We scrabble at it – two thieves with a swag-bag – attempting to break it up, tip it into the barrel we’ve chosen to be our seed-bed, we greedy marauders. Suddenly it crumbles into caviar-dark, gratuitous abundance. Work done, we stand back, wait for the reward ... Which unravels, endless as the Fibonacci sequence played out in a peal of bells, in a polyphony of petals. Lucy Lewis 7 August 2006 |
