Once upon a time, late in a year reeling from multilateral disasters, losses and intimately scaled personal nightmares, I traveled and restored my soul in Southern France and, most deliciously, Spain.

This haiku is a souvenir — one of many word spells broadcast, affirming my heart was ready and willing to be seduced by every flirtation life could deliver.

So far, soooo good.
