| The time will come |
When, with elation, |
You will greet yourself arriving |
At your own door, in your own mirror, |
And each will smile at the other's welcome, |
  |
And say, sit here, Eat. |
You will love again the stranger who was your self. |
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart |
To itself, to the stranger who has loved you |
  |
All your life, whom you ignored |
For another, who knows you by heart. |
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, |
  |
The photographs, the desperate notes, |
Peel your image from the mirror. |
Sit. Feast on your life. |
