Postcards from France

Jardin du Lexembourg
the bending daffodils
under smog
double rainbow . . .
rain from the awning
drips on my baguette
above the tour guide’s umbrella
a broken gargoyle
snags a cloud
under the arch
another tourist
poses like napoleon
sending a French postcard . . .
the daffodil stamp
tastes like home
