what did I want in return from last night
a smile on his face as he left
the peaceful smile I believed he needed

I cooked pork
and he was Muslim
I added oil to tomatoes
and forgot vinegar

we sat on the red coaches
and finshed the last bottle
of white wine from Lorel Lakes

I wanted to have peace and
give peace I thought
he needed

I did not need anything else
just a peaceful smile on his face
as he left.
