GLASS FRUIT


Transfixed by glass fruit

Marley makes his rounds

If he knew our pleasure he might not sit watching

Lining the bar

ladies turn pages to Sinatra

Nosiola Grillo and Pinot Nero

The seated proprietress chats

Piemonte Toscana and Veneto

All rusty with interior contrasts


*****



In the garden he checks his watch and fills my glass

at the rate of a bottle an hour

Always silent he hovers at the table

just another bow-tied waiter

Spread a little love I plead without speaking

wanting him to fan my desire to leave with a little knowledge

Cuvée Tradizione Caluso Spumante

Seeking minerally aromas that rise like a lover’s breath

I order another bottle
