POSTCARD FROM CORFU

GREEK NIGHT IN THE TAVERNA

Adonis, an 18-year-old Greek God

leads me onto the dance floor.

He smiles – I melt - "I CAN DO THIS!"

Slow, gentle bouzouki music

floats on the balmy evening air.

he smiles again. "I CAN do this!"

Gradually the tempo increases.

Doni’s lithe muscles crouch and spring, ever more frantic.

"I CAN’T do this!"

My ouzo is getting warm!
