Sunlit Cascais

Sunlit Cascais

Today the sun shines
Over the bay, a pilot boat 
Is going out
To take a small coast ship
into Lisbon.
In the night
the couple upstairs
made robust love
Plaster fell as snow
on our bed.
And that was ok
ing is better than war
I know the woman
often see her in the foyer 
she looks haughty and chaste
and unsmiling.
Not that I would tell
about her nightly desire
but the falling plaster
it is a worry.
