Garden grove of
Olive branches
And lemon trees swaying on
Evening breeze.
Toasted air
And sun-warmed earth soft
Between the toes of new-washed feet
Gentle drift of fresh wind
Cut with bitter taint
Of minty hyssop
With after-taste of wine
And bread
Lingering drowsily on that sated
Band of faithful few.
