2. Madam with ennui


Salut

She is happy in her way
eating biscuits
in her apartment
overlooking Garden City.
There was a time
once
when she sunbathed topless
but that was before
she discovered biscuits pur buerre.

She nibbles quite delicately
so as not to leave a crumb
they call her
Madam
though a ring, she has not.
Avant
she was Mademoiselle
but that was before
biscuits spread her girth

Tonight she will gorge,
vin rouge,
write a poem
about lost love.
she will savour every mouthful,
shed a tear
nonchantly shrug
with a glint
and say
Bonne Nuit

Salut

One desire shifts to another. The stories you tell are always great.

The ennui, did that lead her to eat, or did the two just go together? Well written.

Joie de vivre! Exquisite, cute, mature, still coquet,
a joy to read and feel*

La pauvre!
Une mademoiselle qui s'est perdue parmi les biscuits pur buerre.
Mais! ... quelle joie! ... cette lueur aux yeux!

a touch bittersweet, but such is life as one kind of appetite shifts to another.

you write so very, very well.
