Viva la France
Sonya said drunkenly
as we ascended the stairs
to our small room
in the cheap hotel
in Montparnasse.
She swayed at the top
of the stairs outside
our narrow room door.
I love Paris
she said
and tried to put
the key in the keyhole.
Why does it not fit?
she said.
Here let me
I said
and took the key
and opened the door.
She went in
and I followed.
We'd been arguing
in the cafe about philosophy
she and her Kierkegaard
and me picking holes in it
and pushing
my mixed up Marxism.
She flopped on the bed
arms wide
I WANT TO MAKE LOVE
she said loudly.
The windows open
the curtains flapping
in the evening air.
I guess most of Paris
can know that now
I said
looking down
on the narrow
street below
the Rue something
or other.
Come here
now to me
she said
softer more
seductively
beckoning me
with her finger.
Want another
drink too
she said.
I went to the small table
and opened
the bottle of wine
we had and poured
her a glass for us both
and handed her one.
She gulped it down
that is better
she said.
I sipped mine
and gazed at her
lying there.
She put the glass
on the bedside table
and lay there.
Undress me
she said gently.
I went over
and began
to undress her
but she went to sleep.
I left her be
and lay beside her
the *** would keep.
