Artist's Comments

I left her in Montmarte
Fortune tellers and mother Mary on the walls
'Two children for you' the madame said
in four years time
and pressed a stone into my hand for protection
though none of it I asked for

Burdened with ghosts of unwritten days
I walked to disposess myself of things half seen

children without names
from a wife who refuses to exist
and the sky crumbled to weeping
over the Champs Elysee

From my bag a tiny amateur camera...

It bore the name of a dead friend
that came to me as a gift in the desert

I didn't realize it then
but tomorrow
two years to the day
would mark the anniversary

So as I crossed the Passerelle Solferino
and the lightning tore the clouds
over the Place de la Concorde
to it was added a tiny little flash
for remembering

and for a moment
the day was filled with angels...

Paris - October 20th 2004
For David
Sorry I didn't remember.... till now

Taken with the sketched context given in the description, the little image evokes a deluge of emotion. It takes heartfelt art to do that, thanks for sharing.

That's a rather unusual inner picture of Paris. And your text is haunting. :)

Thank you....there wasn't actually much thought behind it at the time. It was that kind of faux night and the rain was so hard that I didn't dare break out my big camera, so I used my little plastic one....
