For the beautiful woman who cooked gingerbread for me Such contentedness! I'd like to call this evening first of many. May I? You know we shared, if only for three hours the simplicity of solitude -- a miracle! which lingered in the air around our words, our crumbs, our dishes. There are worlds where human halos come from dreaming or from falling where death can make the sky rain yellow flowers -- but in our world signs are only subtle and simple as your gingerbread -- And prophecies are hard to tell from wishes. |
