THE TRINITY OF PHILOSOPHERS

the
alchemy of
thought and
a new year’s
beaujolais

passed around the
table from
soul to soul
like a new
understanding of
truth and beauty —

who can explain why
such a temporal exchange
brings us into
new realms of a
shared and yet
prismatic
communion?

(yes, you’re right,
we probably can)
