Napoli rendez-vous

 


The bistro at ten o’clock.

I got her text and

Was eager simply

To see her.

A week ago at

The morning market

We had both reached

For the same figs

And touched hands

Not releasing too soon.


And now couple of 

Dark coffees and biscotti.

No harm in that.


She was a Masters 

Student in Fine Art.

I was here at the US

Embassy for an

Eighteen month

Assignment.


Nothing back home

Really holding

Onto me.

The morning was not

Too humid.

And the passers-by

Relaxed.


Remembering

Her hazel eyes…
