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
