SUPPER
They smell of fish and sunlight.
Peter always laughs the loudest,
quiet John is a favorite of the Lord.
The evening is heavy with the perfume
of desert flowers and the scarred moon,
a perfect circle.
Clearing his throat,
the nervous disciple
rises from the table,
careful not to spill the wine.from Singing Magic by Barbara Alfaro
