Best,
The Table
wide as the horizon,
built from hands of every shade,
every story,
every road walked barefoot and bruised.
polished smooth by time,
by comfort,
by voices that have never had to ask,
“May I sit?”
plates in hand,
waiting for a place to rest,
waiting for space to be made,
waiting for the silence to break.
Not with whispers,
not with borrowed seats,
but with wood strong enough to bear the weight
of every voice that was once an echo.
if the same hands pass the bread,
if the same tongues bless the meal,
if the same stories are told
while others swallow hunger in the dark.
Make room.
Break the bread.
Pass the mic.
Listen.
