Over Laphroaig ..,

Over Laphroaig I remembered Konya -

Ken marching through the dark hotel -

Insisting they opened the bar -

Sitting with him, drinking the obscure gin we found -

The waiters gazing at us -

Astonished yet still courtly -

Later walking through the ancient city -

Past courtyards where rapt dancers touched heaven and earth -
