Maybe they look a little plain, but in the centre of each of them is a plum.

A Basket of Rice Balls
4. Berries

Berries
are such small snacks –
barely food

But delicious nonetheless.

Those little things
had value
after all

For life was just too messy
to remember it all.

She kept the sour berries too
because the rest
would taste just that much more sweet

In the end.
