La Bise

okay
i will write you a poem
for you sound so
not so charming yourself
but a crispier version of you.

So dear one,
when you wear that befuddled expression
and the smile stages a walk out
let her retreat to a safe good place
where you have a chance
to find her again
at your whim and just like that.

so cheer up and be buoyant
and feel the crisp dry air
the smile is sure to return
and ring a bell or two.

Everything is clear
and everything is calm
quite like the Bise
that descends over the lake
making the vapour out of worries
and cocooning the expanse.
