And so, I confessed
“You've started a poem in me”
A man, Athens, April.
Under orange blossoms
sits
smokes
thinks of me.
Doesn't he know they only yield bitter fruits?

The streets of Athens in April are laden with the scent of orange blossoms. The smell is intoxicating; as is love.
I agree about the intoxication. Really like "sits/ smokes/thinks of me".
wonderful. just bought a new jar of marmalade on sunday!*
This works so nicely and the last line is a joy.
Very nice observations. Enjoyed.
Beautifully minimal.
Good work.
This is almost too minimal for my overstimulated tastebuds. I had to go into a different mindset to appreciate it, but when I did, I did. I especially like this (for lack of a better word) Mediterranean sensibility you bring to your work.
Loved your "Marmalade". Was in Athens in 2006. I can see that guy sitting there very clearly. He was wearing a hat, right?
Liked reading this. Nice.
