"pintxos" - just wrote this - as its name implies, it's a tasty little snack, best washed down with some tempranillo

pintxos

breezy current of air
pushed and pulled 
the scent of dinner 
between us 
and beyond us 
and off into the golden lit
night air and into the space 
above the easily chatting
couples arm in arm strolling
in paseo on some cafe-lined 
calle on a cool late evening
in some old city 
of stone well-fortified
in the dark Basque-
speaking mountains 
of Navarra
