Someday we’ll linger over dinner
drink our wine slowly in sips
of languor and look at the other
as we haven’t for years
and think of things to talk about
other than children or grandchildren
and discover those subtle changes
that couples go through decade by decade
and find we still interest each other, like each other
and you’ll say something light and witty
and I’ll laugh with a joy that bubbles up,
pops like champagne’s cork
and the whole room will look over
and think ahh, l’amour.
Not this night… but
someday we’ll linger over dinner.
