In monochrome the scene is cast,
A fleeting moment, caught and fast.
A chap emerges, slow in pace,
Contentment written on his face.
From pasta’s den he takes his leave,
His belly round, his heart relieved.
The alley hums, the shadows play,
De Graves holds stories night and day.
His step is heavy, yet it shows,
The simple joy a good meal sows.
A quiet frame, a fleeting art,
Of fullness carried in the heart.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a good place to eat if one is hungry. One can't tell much about the customers, They arrive hungry and leave full.
ReplyDeletePensativo sale del local, con la vista de unos clientes de fondo y a la entrada la vista de la pizarra con lo que se puede consumir.
ReplyDeleteFeliz incio de semana.

ReplyDeleteAh, yes, contentment! Tonight is Friday Night Date Night for Terry and me, and I am looking forward to splitting a big plate of pasta with him. What on earth is pork belly brule? 😂
