One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pistoia, Italy:

It's pink
the world
all jagged rolling up and ups
Man and God made
this night
us three
half bodies out the window of the local train
Bullet-fast and curving
Angelo Angel will give us a ride
in a narrow streeted swirl
or Mama Mia and Cristo Santo
we'll walk on the steep roads and run when it's even
for the dinner we missed
and the wine.

heres how to make mulled wine:
* 2/3 c. sugar
* 1 750ml bottle wine
* 1/2 c. brandy
* 6 to 8 cloves
* 1 cinnamon stick
* orange peel from 1/2 orange

Step 1:
Pour the wine into a nonreactive saucepan and place over low heat.

Step 2:
Cut the zest off half an orange with a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler so that only the orange part is removed. If some of the bitter white pith is still attached to the zest, cut it off and discard it.

Step 3:
Lightly pound the pieces of zest with the back of a knife or a mallet to release the aromatic oils. Add the zest to the wine. Squeeze some juice in, too.

Step 4:
Add the remaining ingredients.

Step 5:
Stir occasionally. Do not let the wine come to a boil.

Step 6:
When the wine begins to steam and is very hot, it is ready to serve.

Step 7:
Shut off the heat and ladle the wine out into mugs or glasses, leaving the seasonings behind.
