French love .. in the basement

In a million years I could never have guessed what was to greet  me at the bottom of the stairs ..  in the south of Paris .. in the basement of friends. 

...................................................................


There it sat .. buried beneath clothes and blankets

Surrounded by bikes and boxes and dart boards and tools  

There it sat .. pushed by hand to this lonely resting place

Cold .. in solitary confinement

Longing for sun .. fresh air 

Dreaming of new life

exhilaration

freedom

joy

In quiet sorrow .. the most beautiful sight I've ever known

It was love in the basement

Citroen .. Citroen

I'm promised a ride on some future trip

Bouncing and swaying .. in French

Should that not happen .. should fate intervene

I am happy .. je suis très content

Sharing the dream with that little white car

 Driving .. north .. south .. east .. west

motor running

wheels turning

faire libérer

free .. free .. free !

As you travel through your lives ..

I wish you

"Bonne Route" / "Happy Motoring"

from Kauai to Paris ... and all places between

Aloha et Au revoir

Written while flying from Paris .. when pain is always strongest ...



France / She


On my Skin
in my breath
never to dissipate




Merged with my being
not worn away
forgotten
polluted




So entrenched
She has become my essence
a portion of physical presence
pulse
soul




She causes my muse
creativity
passion
intellect




Swirling within Her air flows the rich broth of humanity

"J'adore" 

"J'adore"
