Sometimes I stare at things

Transfixed
by light and colour
I stare.

I don't need
a scientific explanation.
There will be one.

A small moment
of unexpected illumination
and the joy that brings

is enough. I don't need to think
or understand it. I drink it in.
Sip the water, and the wine,

and wait for the food to arrive
which, on a day like this,
will be delicious.
