Communion of Tongues
In your language, table rhymes
with fairy tale, in mine
with earth and mother
The bread I bake vowel-chimes
with distress, with womb
The bite you take, with bells
Come to this ancient feast
celebrate this tavola’s
communion of tongues
Take this brød and eat it
in remembrance of
the words we broke
