tongue tripping
in the Provençal patisserie
I shyly order my first
macarons au marrons
in French
a gathering basket
filled with rosehips & hazels –
why is it so hard
to put back all the bits
and pieces you left behind?

cutting back roses
before winter sets in …
why must it sometimes
hurt so much
in order to grow?

a nagging thought
just won’t let go

bleakness –
the lingering taste
of a bad dream
