Hey! Sit down! Eat! Let’s outrun<\/h4>\n

all claims of sleep to tell our stranger stories.<\/h4>\n

Pour wine. Break bread. Tell me about your heart.<\/h4>\n

Take mine. After all, I’ve almost known you<\/h4>\n

all this time. You, who were abroad<\/h4>\n

on adventure, encompassing your part,<\/h4>\n

Come! Let us feast on our lives.<\/h4>\n
