Abundant Streams Flowed Out of the Mountain

Private rustic dwelling  ancient orchard 
Leg of  lamb  with apricots  and raisins
Saffron rice  salad  walnut oil dressing
Ambergris fragrance stroked his cheek
Long dress white linen steam pressed
Pristine white card Dark suit bodyguard
Highly polished rosewood dining table
Red stripes of  traffic lights  in the night
Spoon twirling fettuccini around his fork 
Windows looking out onto the city lights
Walls  covered  with cabinets of  books 
Cosy cuddles piles of crushed clothing 
Midsummer bonfire  white-hot   energy
Skin  glistening  sweat  traced  a circle.
