After Six Interlude

After a short interlude

wandering around narrow

granitic alleys, stone

pavements reflecting

last sky's light and

peering old ladies

behind draped

windows

the main plaza

stood vain and proud

before us

its fountain pouring

an after six pastry

melodic mood

seductively inviting anyone

to walk through

its majestic

irregular oval surface

glittering drops of

rouge

leather boots

tapping

exuberantly

prodding senses

into refined

delights

visual and olfactive

of suspicious

necessity

thence our unnamed reason

to coddle

serendipity.
