when, with elation 
you will greet yourself arriving 
at your own door, in your own mirror <BR /><DIV>
and each will smile at the other's welcome, </DIV>

and say, sit here. Eat. 
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart <BR /><DIV>
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you </DIV>

all your life, whom you ignored 
for another, who knows you by heart. <BR /><DIV>
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, </DIV>

the photographs, the desperate notes, 
peel your own image from the mirror. <BR /><DIV>
Sit. Feast on your life. </DIV>
