Some new "poetic sketches" came at last while traveling home from a week away.
Knee-high child with the azure eyes
Blonde locks framing her smile alight
Bubbles with joy as her papa’s
Sure arms invite her to play
That age-old metro game of
In/dependence, trust, and daring –
He will not let her fall
Paris metro, line 4, between St Michel
and Montparnasse, 27 April 2024
