Not Averse
With domes at our backs—
the city ragged like old
lace, all behind us.
Your jeans were rusty
red, too short. I could
see the whites of your ankles.
Lunch was hard, strong cheese
taken amongst the bums
in the silence of exiles.
No surprise at sundown
when it rains great, warm
Mediterranean drops.
