Our promenade - a streetlamp shines on cream fog memories, conjuring crusty croissants, piquant parmesan pasta, as tiramisu tarts tease, sweetly taunting my tongue and shining cream fog memories on coffee, black and bitter.

David, the sensory impressions associated with food and memory, as well as nostalgia, are central to this wonderful poem. It arouses nostalgia for bygone eras, especially those connected to tastes and textures that are now only memories.
