For Tertia; from that small, now forgotten Italian restaurant so long ago...

And the conversation turned

toward us

and I thought

of the secret that wasn’t in

your eyes and of

magic and the tongue of

candle flame mocked and

taunted us and said

‘with one breath you can blow me out’ (15/10/89)
