come eat

(with thanks to Simón and Pablo)

like children
we must invent words
to be able to say
what we want to say
though we don't know yet
what they mean

interpreting
the scrawled symbols
of the soul
the heart's handwriting
is the work
of a life time
if not more

meanwhile
the table is served

come eat
