Let us sit down soon to eat
with all those who haven't eaten:
let us spread great tablecloths,
put salt in the lakes of the world,
set up planetary bakeries,
tables with strawberries in snow,
and a plate like the moon itself
from which we can all eat.

Very nice words...that's what I love about gardening, sharing with others. Thanks for posting this...
ReplyDeleteThanks 1st Man, it's one of my favorite stanzas ever...I actually painted it onto a canvas about 10 years ago and it lives on the wall in our dining room :-) Cheers!
