Wednesday Evening
Could any end-of-July night feel so exhilarating,
So elegant, so gentle, so sensual,
So billowed, as its still-blue sky-sails are,
With so glorious a twilight breeze
Turning my hair to combers flowing into night?
Well, I guess yes, even though, I confess,
I've known perhaps only half a dozen
As majestic as this Wednesday evening is,
In whose caress I'm reveling, sipping Beaujolais,
Composing a poem for the sky, wind, their nubile light.
