The Grapes of Bath
Last night I thought about this woman who is doing this thing she can’t afford, but does it still. She bathes in wine - draws her bath and when it’s filled with warmth she pours a bottle of costly wine into the water, then soaks. She hasn’t tasted wine in years but for its sweet vapours that rise and dance in the steam. Soaking until the water prunes her crimson skin and she is light-headed, she rests her hands in the most tender spots and learns the spirit of the bottle…I would love to know her name.
I had written this post in French, but I had no business doing so as I butchered it (French) so badly...so I am told.

That was nice. I love the photo and cork drawing. as well. Nice touch.
you're lovely.
miss you.
Glad you noticed the lady in the cork.
You're lucky yer my bro...any other man call me lovely and end up with a broken spleen, I'm so macho!
Definitely your best article in french (from what I now so far...). I just love the "peau cramoisie", very impressive...
Moi je veux le billet en français !
:)
Mais euh pourquoi t'enlèves le Français ???
Who says that your french was bad ? I will fight with him and i'm not jocking !
Bien, quelques gens français ou je travaille m'ont dit que c'était rien en français - qu'il n'a signifiér rien, et que il était trop difficile pour lire et n'etait pas agreable en conséquence. Donc...
Mais merci - tu sais que j'te j'aime!!!!xxxxxxx
You don't have to listen poeple who don't understand the french peotry by english poets...
Too bad you did get rid of it, your french writing is part of your so enjoyable charm... You should not have asked me to correct it... That was not wise, for you to ask or for me to accept.
I tought that correction was only an attempt to improve your french, not to sever the limb of one of your artistic expression... Sorry!
And my apologies to all the readers...
bring back the french one.
you pussy. :)
