Poetry Pause: Welcome
August 21, 2010
Found this gem in Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen. Enjoy!
By the way, what do you think of the new blog format?
Welcome
by Suheir Hammad
my generosity is not steaming
on the table and waiting
for you before you even know you want it
open hearted
come to my house friend you
will find my offering still simmering
i have not yet figured out what
you need and your tastes are a mystery still
to me
i will wait for you to enter
my kitchen and once here
you can let me know what you like
sweet and slow
pepper and stirred
then we can share in this gift together
both of us giving
both of us receiving
open handed
