Berthillon

I wonder

while

watching

children

cluster

like

 gulls

at a beach

picnic

eager

impatient

insistent

wings

waving wildly

their ebullient laughter

echoing through cobbled passages

which flavor

will I choose?

caramel au beurre salé - a languorous kiss from an afternoon lover

chocolat noir - an enveloping, tantalizing secret

noix de coco - a promise of tropical respite

I want

to taste

Paris

summertime

the possibilities

pool

in my mind

and

drip

hot and sticky

down my chin
