white tablecloths serviettes covering laps lush pink of flower spread black and white suited waiter tiny bow seats us discreet click click click of silver carrying fish to polite mouths that discuss atlanta society politics and oh my dear do you know what she said then? wall of glass looks at river bumblebee lights twine tree branches twinkle reflections live in dark roil of water chattahoochee song calms the digestion of discerning diners charleston she-crab soup pink lobster with truffle beurre fondue you order 124 montrachet marquis de la laguiche j drouhin 1991 sommelier clasps dry hands looks up ahhh heaven in a bottle sir very fine depth pours for you offers mouth of the bottle to my lips I sip slowly he has seen me looking to the low side of the river spread with loose papers life debris he is well aware I know about those souls crouching over fires folding cold hands against bellies lips sipping sterno 2006 aqua velva reserve while I drink heaven in a bottle |

Kate~ 'wall of glass looks at river' I knew from the title that this one would intrigue me ... it did and enjoyably so~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Life is full of dichotomy isn't it Lady, and a true lady sees both sides. Gosh, I'd love to be there sipping with you though.  |

wall of glass looks at river bumblebee lights twine tree branches twinkle reflections live in dark roil of water chattahoochee song calms the digestion of discerning diners charleston she-crab soup pink lobster with truffle beurre fondue Siyo Lady it all sound so very beautiful,I have never been to such a place it is I on the other side of river,lol.Once we camp on the Colorado for a few weeks,but we had only to eat what we catch each day. I would like some day perhaps to see,or even go inside such a place!I like this poem very much,makes good pictures to think about.

You carry me with images and beauty in words. And even in the stark reality of the images -- you don't drop me. A |

Some see the other side and prefer to close their eyes. Pretending never teaches and never brings about a change. Thank you, I appreciate your empathy. martyjo |

This was a little like watching days of our lives. Good stuff. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
