1. On a balmy midsummer evening

    From Thirteen Ways with Figs, By Michelle, on Peony Moon blog:

    8.

    On a balmy midsummer evening, wrap up your al fresco meal
    at the warped wooden table under the plane tree
    with blistered grilled figs, spoonfuls of soft mascarpone
    drizzled with orange blossom and rose water.
    Smell the mimosa.
    Don’t wipe the sugary smudge from your chin.
    Carry the sated silence to bed.
