Splendid
[for Stephen]

Thank you
for a Splendid
Night at
Mirabelle;
following
the red-brick-path
to the door,
and then–inside–
I never felt
quite so well
as I felt
at Mirabelle;
enjoying a meal
that looked & tasted
sensational,
so Perfectly French
and how perfectly, you
treated me–
helpless maiden
that I am
you were sure
to get the door,
a raindrop on
my cheek
on the way
out–
made me feel
alive.
