Sancerre

Say "stone fruit" and some people
Will reply "peaches and plums".
Not what I mean.

I mean Sancerre. sans oak,
S'il vous plait, and no malo,
Either.

Some evenings, it seems to me
The single honest thing
Remaining

In Europe or the western world.
A thing that is exactly what it
Ought to be.

And nothing more nor less.
