Driving on the road
From Lysac to Sarlat
Em says, It is quiet for a Monday
Eric replies, Well, we are in the middle of nowhere
Em says, That is my favorite place.
The French countryside
In the middle of nowhere is
Gray green with summer wheat
Dark green with chestnut trees and corn
Tan with limestone and round hay bales
Marching in the fields
The French countryside
In the middle of nowhere is
Red with poppy dots and climbing roses
Bronze with la vaches du limousines
White with Queen Anne’s lace and
Wooden shutters against stone walls
Crimson with the stained glass robes of Mary
And the flickering candles
Lining the church altar
Of Em’s favorite place
In the middle of nowhere
Driving on the road
From Lysac to Sarlat
