Intoxicating harmony of voices, from

the past;

a bouquet, so exquisite, I inhale

slowly, breathe in, breathe out,

cast, my mind back to that time,

when your lips tasted Chardonnay

from the Ardeche,

us, smoking,

siping wine, in Les Vans,

watching pétanque played out,

on a sultry summer night,

your lips a perfect reflection of

mine, and the sound

of a church bell every hour, ringing,

our eyes blind,

to the crowds strolling through the night market.

'I believe we will make love' I said, in a

caravan beneath the church tower,

and then, en réponse

'I know' you said, 'Je connais son poème.'
