*This is a hearts desire poem written from Paris, France

Soon you will return from Paris with conversation

about why you feel so tired. And left me here in the first place.

Once back, I will hold you by a door wide open

until hand luggage is carried across wooden floorboards.

scents of Chanel remind me

of a woman who’d do anything to survive a time of war.
