Invitation

today, i will invite you to my home.

the lamps are oiled, and flowers

perfume the air.

the antiques are dusted

while my windows are translucent,

glittering, and bright.

sweet apples and unfurling grapes

drape across the dining table.

 

come, for i have prepared well, and

your presence graces the night.

we shall dine in dimness and toast in thankfulness.

an owl will murmur as a

breeze wisps by,

already a fading memory.

yet as we pass with time, we’ll hum

melodies to Selene, herself.

la luna, la belleza,

tú eres, tú eres.
