she comes from within
chain smoking and
having pie for lunch
my lovely tour guide
never stops talking
there are others
vying for her attention
her knowledge of the land
and the lore it contains
the fruit of the vine
grows year ‘round here
the mountainous region
much older than the hills
the bakery at the next stop
sells cherry pie slices
for 500 drachmas
I place my order for two
motivation can be instilled
she would often say
but true inspiration
she must come from within
december two thousand sixteen

haha that’s great!
Oh I love your pie loving angel – she is the best kind of guardian angel to have!
Thank you and yes indeed, Kathleen
Great, love the title too… a desire not mentioned.
Thanks so much, Björn, and Merry Christmas.
