It's Still Life

Wednesday, 19 July: Tiled Rooftops

Arrivederci Italia.
This is Bourgogne,
and it’s about wine today.

Vineyards, and wooden presses.
Dust-flaked villages,
and yellow stone houses
with shutters closed on white heat.

But I want to see Beaune.
Next time, he says.
Which means
I’m not going to see Beaune.

Arrived.
Dijon.
The city.
Not the mustard.

Nevertheless,
I plan to buy mustard.
Lots of it.
For not seeing Beaune.

And because I simply love mustard
that snaps the nerves on my scalp.
