My New Beach

back in the states,

i'd walk the beach.

here, i walk to the eiffel tower.

i try and get out for a walk

when the older kids come home 

from school.

just half hour by myself.

to clear my head before

the dinner rush.

last night i went out

at dusk.

i think it's my favorite time

of the day here in paris.

the soft lighting in the sky

and in the paris flats.

the lines out the door each 

evening at my local boulangerie.

i got to trocadero 

just as the tower was 

being lit for the night.

it's like watching

the sunset on the beach.

that sight never gets old.

bonne nuit paris.
