I Like For You To Be Still

Nice! Thanks for running the show again - it's great that this tradition continues!

I want everything to be
a cup or a tool,
I want people to enter a hardware
store through the door of my odes.
I work at
cutting
newly hewn boards,
storing casks
of honey,
arranging
horseshoes, harness,
forks:
I want everyone to enter here,
let them ask questions,
ask for anything they want.
I am from the South, a Chilean,
a sailor
returned
from the seas.
I did not stay in the islands,
a king.
I did not stay ensconced
in the land of dreams.
I returned to labor simply
beside others,
for everyone.
So that everyone
may live here,
I build my house
with transparent
odes.

You guys and your Neruda. :P

Damn it! After doing this 3 years in a row in the previous years, I miss out on it this year with due to all my focus and funds for my long over seas trip. Everyone enjoy their gifts and I can't wait for next year!
