| In Edith Piaf's song (my favourite) there's the line avec mes souvenirs, j'ai allumé le feu (with my souvenirs I have lit the fire) I've burned a lot of things I'd kept for ages ... didn't want them seen or sorted. But a few, a small few, I kept. A number plate I found in Bulgaria, a painting/print/play by Paul, a few words I set under wrinkled glass so they're not easy to read, but impossible to forget. Coins with memories ...from Paris, from Korea, from Bulgaria and at the bottom, a lovely thing ... memory. A computer chip, more beautiful than most. All served up on a tea-tray. |
