Celebrating 42 Years

The sunflower leaned
against the burning candle,
fat. a quiet night
of sumptuous feasting -
notable,
the crème brulee and berries
covered in whipped cream,
two flutes
filled with asti spumante.
the cheers that took two years
to occur -
after a pandemic and a death,
but let’s 
for tonight
remember the romance -
two sips…two bites
mmm…delight
full.

The cheers... that took two years... Somehow it seems that the Pandemic -- excuse, please, that flu oubreak -- is way back in the rear-view mirror now. May it stay there! Happiness Forever, Kim.
