[Uther: I know this isn't what you had in mind, but I'm afraid it's all I 
have in me at the moment.  I shall hardly have any time for writing during 
the next few months anyhow.]

Futomaki: Hand Roll
By Richard Rivers




There was no mistaking it - the sounds and smells from the kitchen were of 
Maki hard at work preparing sushi for my dinner.  She always did that after 
we had quarreled, when she was ready to make up.  And I knew that before 
long, right after dinner, she would pull out the futon and we would make 
love, she with a fierce kind of determination, as if catching up on the days 
or weeks we had missed.

On the stove, string beans and slivered carrots simmered in fish stock.  
Kanpyo, the long stringy dried gourd, was soaking in warm water.  An omelet, 
thin as cigarette paper and lightly brown on one side, lay on a plate sliced 
into thin strips.

Over dinner, I stared at her so long that the miso settled to the bottom of 
my small bowl - the muddy bottom of a tiny clear pond.  Her eyes were 
absolutely pure and completely impenetrable.  Her soft lips were sensuous, 
forming words in pleasure or in anger.  It didn't seem to matter that 
evening - I promised myself never to become angry with her again.

A kiss with a hint of wasabi on her pointed, flitting tongue.  Breasts, with 
their hard little nubs, tasting of sandalwood and spice.  Below, the flavor 
of mild sweet vinegar, of dashi, the broth made from little ocean fish - a 
woman's subtle musk.

The sheets of nori crackled over the flame, releasing their flavor.  With 
practiced ease, she assembled it all on her little bamboo mat and rolled it 
up.  Our eyes met as she grasped it - while the deft wringing motion of her 
soft hands sealed it into a firm, tight roll.  She smoothed it out - rolling 
it back and forth between flattened palms.

And then a surprise.  Rice balls - my favorite.  I always ate them sprinkled 
with furikake, a mixture of crushed seaweed and spices that comes in little 
packets.  Maki brought a bunch of it home from Japan with her because she 
knew how much I loved it.

There was exactly enough rice left for two, and she gave me her most knowing 
smile as she slowly, softly squeezed and formed the two egg-sized balls.  
But when I reached for the furikake, her hand lightly darted out and stopped 
me.  Grasping the little foil packet herself, Maki's eyes never left mine as 
she gently tore it open with her teeth.
