Lunch at the Depot Hotel

Lunch at the Depot Hotel

I love this crazy world, and I am not
without hope.

Sonoma greens, Sicilian olive oil, local shrimp,
bread from the grasses invented by women eons ago,
Dubonnet from the red vine of the French, lovers who honor
the blood, coffee from beans of the South

this soulful feast inspires me to share with you,
while provincial voices on money and strangers rise
in the next room amid laughter and heavy home-grown wine,

to share with you that no matter how much change
or how fast, no matter the winds, spreading viruses, unexpected
explosions, rapings of women and babies, grand upheavals of the Earth
no matter how annoyed Mother Earth becomes,

Life does survive, inexpressibly beautiful, that makes dahlias maroon
and huge open their faces to us withwhat else can we call itLove.
And if there is a better word, let us use that.

Love flowers no matter what,
rest assured.
