unwritten
Breaking bread
They broke bread
Breaking bread.
Words that echo
Playing ping pong in --
My head is full as
I seek its clarity ...
Breaking bread,
Breaking bread.
A message sought
Or
A message delivered.
With meaning, it --
Companionship.
they giveth what
they themselves
are starving for.
Breaking bread.
Camaraderie.
Kinship.
Brotherhood.
"tu sei la mia famiglia"
To share a meal
by "breaking bread."
No more secrets
Devouring a wall
With its heart of Truth.
The hearth.
A stove.
An oven.
The kitchen table.
Breaking bread.
The centerpiece:
We broke bread, and --
Let your guard down:
Crust, hardened
A soul, soft --
And kneaded by God.
A family.
A race.
A culture.
Humanity --
Impoverished,
but blessed
With the gift of bread.
Breaking it.
They share.
