Portuguese Plums

At the breakfast buffet, I choose cut up Portuguese plums

Put them on my plate

Poured myself some peach juice in my glass

Spread some apricot jam across my baguette  

A blue bookmark for my yellow paperback

Wearing a cork necklace and pink sandals  

Looking for bronze bell earrings  

Many fortresses are nearby  

Floating past on kayaks

Bubbles from the ripples in the brackish water

Will have dinner after a couple of appetizers and Aperol Spritz  

Heaven is on the horizon
