Danielle Claudia Jerry Marie Jeff and Stephanie
a dinner party on the kitchen porch
nocturnal Brugmansia in late summer bloom.
Geraniums thyme and rosemary 
bay leaves and lemon basil
curly and straight parsley on the stone wall.
Local craft beers wine and appetizers 
olives cheese and pistachios
the Weber charcoal grill with swordfish steaks 
beef tips soaked in whiskey marinade
buttered squash asparagus new potatoes and 
peppers rolled around to char.
Continuous conversation 
everyone joins the topic variations
who needs more 
the setting sun 
mosquito coils 
incense and citronella wax
indie and jazz playlists on the portable Bose
dinner plates done
another drink more water or coffee with dessert
pineapple cake upside down
goodbye friends thanks for coming tonight 
we hope to see you soon
tonight was fun as always for us.
