Chleb – the polish
word for bread
Sounds equally inviting to my ear
As our native English sound
One of the first five or ten words
I ever learned to say
A source of pleasure
I ever learned to say
A source of pleasure
Best savored in the flesh
Bringing forth a glottal hum
From deep in your throat
So deep in your chest too
Especially sinking your teeth
Into a fresh dark loaf
So deep in your chest too
Especially sinking your teeth
Into a fresh dark loaf
So sign and signified derive
Their mutual strength
From the same root source --
The chakra of life itself
That sprouts from the ground
And you carry home underarm
But to speak of it still is
The least of its charm
That sprouts from the ground
And you carry home underarm
But to speak of it still is
The least of its charm
