poem-a-day challenge day 5

[serene]

(Today's poem-a-day challenge prompt was to write about a landmark.)


We will meet at your house,
drive together to the airport,
hop a plane for France

We will go to the hotel,
sleep together in a strange bed,
make lazy love,
talk about Paris and our next stop,
Amsterdam

We will stroll along the streets
eat together in a small cafe
wonder if we've ever had coffee this good,
or bread

We will walk to the Arc de Triomphe
together
and I will leave you
to roll down the Avenue
des Champs-Élysées
alone
the way you've always seen it
and then, at the eastern end, at the
Place de la Concorde
we will meet again
to continue our journey
together
