A BOWL OF SOUP

A bowl of soup a humble bowl of soup
I am moved to see it in a festive day
and I enter in the soup
and I am eaten by myself with tears in the eyes

UM PRATO DE SOPA

Um prato de sopa um humilde prato de sopa
comovo-me ao vê-lo no dia de festa
e entro dentro da sopa
e sou comido por mim próprio com lágrimas nos olhos

Wonderful poem and translation. And the ladle looks overcome with emotion. Good combination of words and image. A classic ekphrastic.
