What does it bring about
That draught of vintage
in the dead of the night
between wake and dream
and silent songs?

What does it bring about
that draught of vintage
under the awning
in front of the terrace fire
crackling and sparkling?

What does it bring about
that draught of vintage
those liquid shadows
in a shimmering glass
cooled by the autumn air?

What does it bring about
that draught of vintage
together with the smell of
grass and earth moisturised
by dew and fine drizzles?

What does it bring about?
Indefinite trains of thought
painful pleasant melancholy
mystifying timelessness
and a cool taste of infinity.
