While listening to Giovanni Bononcini's(1670-1747) 'Il trionfo di Camilla'(1696),
with a libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym(1678-1729),
half past four post meridiem on August 1st 2016

Some rain, some coffee with cheese and salad,

droplets running down the window pane,

old coffee with a bitter taste,

the bitter taste of a darkening afternoon,

all those far-sailing clouds

giving birth to these misguided tears.
