F.C.Delius
 

                                         MEAL

 
Throw away the cutlery!
Helpless like the meal,
that's what you are.

A breeze suffices
to blow the soup from the spoon.
The fork does not help
in view of children and fools.
The knife has no office.

Customs before
they fade away, once more
change their color.

Never eloquent, it was - renunciation.
