Forgotten Past

 

 

thistle and black sunflower seeds

sun shooting up through my body

into a place of iced light

taste of pressed apples -

clear, golden blood

 

in that moment

I remember everything

Prompt: 'what Saint Germain looked like in summer...'
A poem in 30 words

I took as my inspiration St-Germain-des-Prés (Paris) - originally a little market town formed around the abbey of St. Germain over one thousand years ago. At that time, it consisted mostly of fields worked by the Benedictine monks.

    Oddly I was writing about deja-vu this morning, so this fit so beautifully with my mind set. Loved, golden
