Campari

immigrant hair alive on the side of her ear 
thick with an accent 

her blue eyes shine a northern light upon her pleasant voice 

food or drink? 
offered a choice i chose both 

we talk long of people and places 
wine and song 

i find it very pleasant 

she is brilliant i am anxious 
she is resilient 
well-mannered 
with a bottle of Campari 
we behave perfectly with books on our laps 
opinions a few 
about Picasso and Pound or whatever we knew

it is all so perfectly fine

so whatever happened to the time?
