Meet Me in Versailles
Verity
had
traveled
the
W

D~~~~R
L
Botswana! Deutschland! Nihon!
The war had sent her a b r o a d,
Her pen pal brought her home.
Dear Roxie,
I'll see you soon!
Tell your father
Tell your mother
I say Hello!
Finally,
V.
Once a trickster shop assistant,
A letter home intercepted by chance,
By fate!
By Roxanne.
The scribbled words,
Jotted down on cheap papers,
Adventures!
[Those whimsical days, those ethereal nights.]
It all ignited a fire
Bright&
Burning&
Alive
An infectious desire to travel.
New York! Johannesburg! Milan!
Dear Verity,
I want to travel too,
Someday.
Maybe…
When I'm out of school.
Take me with you?
Bored,
Roxanne
George & Angelina,
They thought it was swell.
Terrific.
Fantastic!
[Too early.]
[They would miss their little girl.]
"Come on, Georgy,
Let little Roxie
f l y ~ !
She's really not
sooooo
-little-
anymore."
After a few promises,
[No, Daddy,
I won't sleep with strangers.
Or any boys at all.]
[Yes, Mommy,
I'll remember to brush my teeth.
And floss.]
[Shut up, Fredly,
of course I'll tell girls to write you.
Unless they write me first.]
Then,
A few hugs,
A few kisses,
~xoxo~
Protective old dad,
let his baby go.
Roxanne would be safe.
Safe in Verity's care.
[Safe
in her arms,
her heart,
her bed.]
Roxanne had so much to learn!
For Verity was quite a bit older.
Wiser.
[In more ways than one.]
Fluent in quite a few languages.
Español, Français, Italiano!
[A tongue rolling R's,
Knew other things too.]
Très chère famille!
Dear Papa! Dear Mama!
I'm getting married!
Come meet me in
Versailles!
Bon baisers,
Roxanne
P.S. I know you'll love her,
Mon amour, mon âme soeur, ma vie!
