up to the ruins
of Ephesus was quite convincing
with his wool rugs,
and other wares.
there was a white vase
i really liked,
and a black shirt with
sequins. i touched the fabric
and asked
if it would shrink
after a cold wash.
no, he said, and if it does,
you can bring it back.
maybe on the way down,
i said, feeling guilty
for lying,
as i went up the hill
to visit the land where
St. Paul preached.
