You’re the window sometimes

To which address

At Night, when my heart shines

And modesty is in vain.

A woman who dreams of fate

It feels like a cyclamen

And she remains eternal girl.

Or how many times likeness

In me the ebbrietudine of the saints,

But you’re always in front of me.

Like a big cup

Good Blue wine.

In you, the poet is just a whisper.

Aw I don’t wanta go to no such thing, I just wanta drink in alleys.’…

But you’ll miss all that, just for some old wine.’

There’s wisdom in wine, goddam it!’ I yelled. ‘Have a shot!

But when fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you.
