His soft smile in the sun made me happy,
a complete moment, swollen and sweet,
one second in Vernazza. Coffee and cream
comforting my tongue, only my own voice
providing lyrics to the music of Italian accents
murmuring weather chatter and gentle gossip.
A cat nap, a reminder that my needs are simple
as cappuccino and sunrise in Cinque Terre.
