Purely Personal
A bright spirit has no sooner landed on earth
than her mom flies her to Irish islands on travel assignment…
and on to western Crete…
to charm her Greek father… unsuccessfully..
After some taverna-hopping in Chania,
it’s back to the books and to our loved ones;
back to the meadows of France,
A Double-Lumen Hickman Catheter in her heart
(and when that breaks a Port-a-cath) and 24-hr beeping machines.
Love around the clock….
and the greatest nurses.
Nor does no hair and no immune system mean no friends.
Many escapes are attempted…..
before the final escape–discharge into the Real World.
Back on the road….
Eurydice is hungry for adventure.
Fairy tale castles for Condé Nast Traveler….
French farmhouses inhabited by Bluebeards…
Returns to Greece, to Leonard Cohen’s isle of Hydra…..
Walks through the endless Camargue…
Sweet pastries for a sweet girl…
A consummate Parisienne.
she loses him too soon, by far.
We give him to the desert sky he loved,
and to the rock and the California winds.
The palm trees, too, rustle with our loves.
Eurydice becomes a climber, like him…
at home in Corsica and in the world…
… also in our friend Russell’s gym socks…
and in his embrace.
We meet new friends and surprises.
The voyage goes on…. where to we shall see.
