""Would it not have been better, instead,
to abandon oneself naively
to the first ineffable sweetness of love being born?"
He saw Elena in the act of wetting her lips
with a wine as blond as liquid honey.
He chose from among the glasses
the one where the servant had poured an equal wine;
and he drank with Elena.
Both, at the same moment,
placed the crystal upon the tablecloth.
The shared act made them turn to one another.
And their gaze ignited them both, far more than the sip."
