warm cloudy
guests leave
R, a previous
artist in residence
packs his tent
his suasages and bacon
and drives off
taking all to the station
in Saint Pont Maxence
and suddenly it’s
as quiet as a convent
need some more materials
to test and try a few things
before I go
cycle to the Brico
my favorite shop
the cycling is good
for thinking
for plannng
and for just being
the roads are mostly quiet
and the cycle lanes are great
the cycling is quite tiring
even though it’s mostly flat
shuffle through
the afternoon and evening
in the workshop
in my room
and later
catching up with
family
their lives and
immediate needs
