The Traces of Pirates


Thank you for my lovely dress

It was waiting for me at the hotel

Thin white cotton with splashes of colour

You know the styles that celebrate me

Milan was hot and quite quite beautiful

After walking its endless white streets

I thought Joe was going to watch football

But he chose a cool cinema instead

It was showing a very joyful French movie

Les Amours d’Anaïs

I loved the quiet drama of this film

It relaxed me as I was a little tired

My blue ghosts are becoming more distant

I have yet to yet to meet my other ghosts

This often happens to those who are pirates
