Having eaten the pears.
Having eaten
the black figs, the white figs. Eaten the apples.
Table be strewn.
Table be strewn with stems,
table with peelings of grapefruit and pleasure.
Table be strewn with pleasure,
what was here to be done having finished. 
From “Spell to Be Said upon Departure”
May your “table be strewn with pleasure.” Love that line. Happy Thanksgiving, Cynthia.
I love that line, too. Happy Thanksgiving, Cynthia.
Darrelyn and Linda, our table was. Hope yours were too. Happy Thanksgiving.
Perfect verse for Thanksgiving! I also loved that strewn pleasure line. I just got back from NYC.
I’m behind, behind, behind…Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving in NYC. Hope I get to see Al Pacino in The Merchant of Venice before it’s gone.
