Bella
Bella, I have not forgotten;
my palette is loaded with
colours of you.
I extend my hand across
our landscape
of promises—
you stand where I was
forced to let you stop.
I am here (le coq Gaulois),
smearing oil deliberately
on this board.
Our love oozes from these tubes
to land on this work of heart
that will tell our stories
for eternity.
Bella, prepare.
Assemble the flowers
to carry and wear,
for I am coming back home
to be wed with you.
