a crumbling asphalt road
is the only way up
winding amid wild slopes
young brush and vinyards
heavy with grapes
in the distance
we see the evening sun
catch bare white mountain peaks
on the hills before them
glitter little towns and villages
the air is mild
chestnut trees
keep dropping their fruit
the farmer's restaurant
announced downhill
is closed
so is the church
a German shepherd dog
silently
lies watch over the winery
behind a cast-iron gate
the castello
turns out to be
a not very impressive ruin
advertisement and reality
seem to have grown
far
apart
what makes me write
is the quiet of the hills
through which we walk
the sight of the full moon
we enjoy
with my hands
cupped over your *******
our togetherness
