sharing

let the rain fall
and soften the earth
ready to crack
hardened by a violent sun,

let us relax
and be friendly
to the guests who still drop
by our house

let us share
not only the burdens
but also the little
surplus of food for dinner tonight

and if nobody
shows up at the door
and you are forced
to dining alone

remember the birds
tomorrow they will be hungry for crumbs
they'll let you admire their feathers
dipped in dew and morning mist
