Into the Rose Garden

Paris

Paris

Compression leads me to him, and the boy I loved four summers ago; yellow jumpers and Bismarck, unusual arrows used to this day. This boy I lived and loved: if I never see him again, he will always spell me the same. Sunshine boy killed in France, my real one lost there too.

A badly-timed email inviting me to Paris, a Parisian card which didn’t arrive. The romantic city I never understood.

But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose leaves
