Peronis at Gianni's ...



We ordered Peronis in Gianni's - 

Prego, Peronis Antonio said laughing - 

We can make you anything, even Chinese

It was the last evening we would eat and drink together - 

We had braved truculent bullocks in thistled fields - 

We'd followed wavering paths through wicked nettles - 

We'd seen six hares - 

We'd climbed fells under darkening skies -

We'd crossed Hell Gill Bridge -

Old walls were known us - 

The curlew's song was one we sang -

Our eyes had read proud names carved in marble - 

Si, Peronis Antonio said -

Now what would you like to eat ?
