Like Rip Van Winkle
And had pleasant dreams.
Who knows?
All I know I woke one day 
In an earthly paradise.

As we sailed the fast river of Rhône
the steady sun bleached it a sparkling gold
like the treasures of Caesar’s kingdom

A curtain of fawn-silken tackle, shaded 
back the fervidly garish star scatter,
and cooling flower-scented airs tickled
