to a friend who is lying down for a while*

lying down for a while
just resting
calmly pondering
what it is about life that
keeps us coming up
for bread and a prayer
for something deeply shared
what it is about life that
does not let go
does not give in
coffee is ready but what about
les croissants?
your accent will surely trigger my laughter
and your loud objections!
and we will walk by the Seine
and dream for a bit
and then dream
some more
