Poem Written in the Street on a Rainy Evening

Everything I lost was found again.

I tasted wine in my mouth.

My heart was like a firefly; it moved

Through the darkest objects laughing.

There were enough reasons why this was happening

But I never stopped to think about them.

I could have said it was your face,

Could have said I’d drunk something idiotic,

But no one reason was sufficient,

No one reason was relevant.

My joy outshone dull surroundings.

A feast was spread; a world

Was suddenly made edible.

And there was forever to taste it.
