breakfast soup
a drive to Foça
old narrow streets
a touch of ancient Greece
talk of old times
over cay
of mutual friends
of almost love
lost love
mistakes made
lessons learned
the comfort
of the familiar
in a new old world
on the first day
of Bayram
and there is the future
laid out
in the open
just like it’s supposed
to be
Very nice, sir. It has the authentic tumbling motion of thought and experience, as your best work does, and the last five lines are just right.
Thanks,Jeff. And watch for a post with Goat on the Aegean coast this weekend. I finally alphabetized my books this weekend(settling in, you know) and found him. We’ll both be sitting seaside soon.
Very nice!
