The Lunch Date (Day 961)

How the sun shone

through the trees

dappling the umbrella

over the table

where we did not sit


and chilled to perfection

redolent of apricots 

and new-mown hay

the bottle of wine 

we did not share 


on our lunch date 

which never took place

last Monday at one o’clock

in your favorite cafe 

on the cedar-shaded hill


sitting alone  I toasted you  

so far away   remembering 

sun-drenched days

books splayed across our laps  

eyes closed against the glare
