You sit in front of me
offering yourself kindly
and clothing of patience
the noise of my chatters
calm open yourself
to my sentiments
in the encounter's game
while delving with sage's eyes
the comeandgo of dishes ...
From the inside of your presence
surfaces the serene strength
of your steely interiority
until the tasty 'caldillo'
gets steaming to the table
and you pour in my goblet
the transparent sound
of ruby's Chilean essence
feeding the silence
on the savoury ground
of your happy mansion
