It's Friday, yay! The final weekday of my academic immurement.
On Friday nights we go out - we’re up late - so late that it’s early,
but it’s ok, we’re young and dumb.
But if you think you’ll find me sleeping in on a Saturday morning - you’d be wrong.
On the weekends, the richest part of Paris mornings involve neighborhood street-life - which are invitations to sensory abundance - and it all happens before lunchtime.
The sensorial joys of the “sun-south” flower market stalls, overflowing with fresh lavender, peonies and powdery-sweet Violet blooms - tulips from Holland and roses from Kenya - that cool the air with fresh fragrances compete and mingle with savory baking aromas from local boulangeries (bakeries).
The dueling scents define mornings in the Marais (ivy-clad streets) or along the Seine.
Hit the snooze button and you can miss it (and trust me, napping later can be fun).

Songs for this:
Young And Dumb by The Bird and the Bee
under the milky way by the church
Only imagined the moving,
dreamed the breathing
for I was walled up alive
beneath the body of life,
its womb was my tomb,
its stasis was my shroud,
yet, my immurement
is come to an end now, though,
for I can witness the rising
of the dark harvest moons
under your eyes.
I have been
Abandon
Abused
Afflicted
I have been
Betrayed
Blamed
I have been
Castigated
Chastised
Confined
Convicted
Corrupted
Criticized
I have been
Damned
Deceived
Defeated
Degraded
Destroyed
Disapproved
Disgraced
Distrusted
Doubted
I am now
Fearing
Harming
Now
Immurement
Limited
Neglected
Now & Forever
Ruined
