Lübeck

remember those quiet days…
reading Herman Hesse
and de Maupassant;
the walks down Kotwitzstrasse
to Seven Towers and Marzipan Lane
(we’d kiss sometimes
if no one was looking)
then in the cafes
“Zwei café bitte mit milch und zucker”
and with my Yorkshire accent,
it was always good to see you laugh
