There were no echoes in the olive grove.
The sky blushed and quietly sighed,
the sun flashing hints of lingerie as it
slipped beneath the covers, far from
virginal but pouting playfully. I knew
I only had that one night in Montefalco,
one chance to see the dusky drama.
I bit my wine-stained lip and hummed
softly, watching the ballet of colored clouds.
Those last stretched seconds of day
were mine, but next time I want to see
that thick, sweet, display of grace
reflected in your gentle face.
