In Sicily I want to
eat and drink and
walk along the shore with
my arm around you,
and fall asleep happy.
Which is more beautiful,
the volcano or
the Greek column
in ruins?
Who
cares if we've had too much wine -
we're walking toward Tunis,
there are temples on the ridgeline,
and the wind tastes like sand.
