Café Terrace (Coffee House) In Arles, France
Beneath stars of heavenly grandeur,
In a café, romance prospects dwell brighter.
Patrons entertaining escapades of camaraderie,
Charismatically whisper away the evening.
Visible under the illuminating gas lantern,
Of sulphurous yellow revealing customers
Who say, “S'il vous plaît” to the French waiter.
As passersby stare at empty tables.
At the street’s end is seen a church spiral rise.
And in-between the buildings’ windows of light,
Over the cobblestones the calèche chatters,
As people yield to the horse-drawn carriage.
Une nuit d’été de bonjours and et au revoirs
(A summer night of hellos and goodbyes)
On Place du Forum in Arles, France.
