Goodbye Europe
Beautiful Europe...
I bid thee farewell
Goodbye red rooftops....
...little churches...
...and big churches....
....pretty paintings.....
....and gruesome paintings...
....ceilings......
...and floors...
...thousands of Jesus & Mary statues & paintings...
...sunshine...
...and storms...
...high places...
...and low...
....beautiful architecture...
...calm statues...
...and violent statues...
...landscapes...
...and waterways...
...stairs.....
...and more stairs...
...square cobblestones...
....round ones...
...hodgepodge sizes...
...ovals...
...and slabs...
..favorite Atlas statues...
...other favorite Atlas statues...
...humor...
...and anguish (me with concentration camp dirt on my boots)...
...hotel bathroom sinks...
...people who smile...
...and talk to pigeons...
...babies in gigantic snow suits...
...people who take selfies...
...soldiers who guard places...
...Italian women who have hair just like mine & let it fly free...
...and dreamy people who are silver foxes...
...nourishing winter food....
...vitamin food...
...smooth golden soup...
...mussels & other fishy savories...
...cocktails that give your daily allowance of fruit...
