Things you must know if ever you are to love me
I am an unusual creature
I find ease in complication
I will not set the clocks back
I live in warm weather time
And in the spring I will write a note above the oven that reads “this is the hour”
I will eat the platanitos on the way home from the market
or the grapes if I want something sweet
or the chocolate (dark) if I‘m in need of indulgence
I love the resounding silence of the morning…
