Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 49. Summer Visit
Grill smoke eddies and curls,
its column contorting in the faint breeze
while the evening commute hums nearby;
late afternoon sun glints
on golden Chardonnay as sparkling as our conversation,
a give-and-take as meaty
as anything roasting over the glowing coals,
and well-aged like the stories we remember best about ourselves.
Twilight and moonrise flavor our discussion;
books and politics make potent digestives
to be enjoyed like heirloom cognac,
sipped carefully,
leaving the spirit warm and the brain fuzzy
and ready for bed.
