Thanksgiving Guests

 


We never know who will join
the feast,
sometimes familiar faces,
sometimes strangers
we have never seen
before.

I don't cook for them,
but they may forage
on their own
where they will.
The menu is quite varied.
There is plenty for all.

The dining room looks
unkempt,
neglected even...
just how our guests like it.
We offer spaces to rest
when they are weary
and all the food they can eat,
sap, insects, seeds, berries,
and some lingering greenery,
everything a feast should offer 
hungry travelers.

November's bounty.
Thanksgiving with the wild ones.
