Esther Heboyan: AN EVENING IN GOLDERS GREEN

let us speak of
woes and wars
and cherries in tears
cling to Aegean cliffs

of men and women
let us speak
and orchids nocturnal
nod to the hooting train

in nimble words
let us of
youth speak and gimmicks
innumerable                                    as

chilled wine and almond
g  i  n  g  e  r  l  y
chime the kitchen mauve
sift the hour’s bond

time’s unstilled kiss
and of love
Theodorakis
dances the abyss

of you dearest and
chestnut lives
through Surrey and rain
let us speak again

London-Paris, Summer 2010
