To Be Continued Maybe
Somewhere down there, way beyond Brest ..
He found her
baking unleavened bread
and wearing those borrowed blue overalls
those with a pocket in the chest ……………..
Precisely where
she kept her passport, pen and note pad
full of half completed poems
and other inconsequential stuff like that
She was in the kitchen
of some cool chateau and had flour
in her hair, on her forehead and eyebrows too
At first, he thought
she looked like a beautiful ghost, surrounded
by shadows like that ..
But then, her Malbec lips were mouthing silent
Prayers, almost loud ..
And in that moment, he just kind of knew ..
Not everything was
quite write after all .. To be continued, maybe ..
