Cool Light Breeze Across the Seine
On the stone whitebeige border of a bridge over the Seine,
she rests her two arms, her body leaning on her outer forearms;
the tearlet longlaced white ruffles on her longsleeved dark skyblue dress
fall in small tiered cascades from long somewhat full sleeves
gathered at the wrists;
her medium light brown hair with orangey tints hangs in
voluminous ringlets over her shoulders.
She looks across the Seine with her longlashed mediumlight brown eyes.
A very light breeze touches her hair, ruffles and long full dress lightly,
creating a soft ripple (tingle), tinkle; her folded-in-an open-clasp hands
look like they are folded in an earnest suppliant's
prayer.
Oh for a sight of Jean (her cavalier), or even a word or letter - to ease her
ruminating anxious (but also hopeful) heart.
