In the steamer is the trout seasoned with slivers of ginger, two sprigs of green onion, and sesame oil. We shall eat it with rice for lunch, brothers, sister, my mother who will taste the sweetest meat of the head, holding it between her fingers deftly, the way my father did weeks ago. Then he lay down to sleep like a snow-covered road winding through pines older than him, without any travelers, and lonely for no one.
This is a poem writen by Li-Young Lee and its called Eating Together. Eating Together is about this family of three bothers and one sister with a mother who have lost there father. This talks about a family diner with a cook trout. While they eat the fish they have memories of how they father have ate it in the past.
