Table

A poem.
Illustration by Lizaveta-Alisa K

In a room.
A table. An upside-
down room.
Like a boat.

In the room is.
Everything.
Upside-down Love

your enemies.

Broken.
The table feeds all.
Says, The meek
will inherit the earth.

There is room. In
the upside-down boat,
at the table

to grow small.
