Anita Marie’s Letter Home
To My Dear Friends Back Home
I know you wonder what I’ve been doing since I left for the City of Ladies weeks and weeks ago
Well
so far:
I’ve spent my days
and many a dark night
wandering through the City of Ladies.
I’ve been in the Catacombs
alone
of course.
Well
I think I was alone
I’ve even been to the Circus
where I learned a thing or two.
Well
okay
it’s
been
mostly one…
I’ve haunted bookshops and curiosity shops and art galleries sat in a Tavern and listened
to stories
and drank wine and nibbled on cheeses from
places with names I can’t pronounce
and I’ve even worn my hair up
and
dressed in gowns made from silk
stolen
from Pirate Ships
and
handmade
by candlelight while music was
played on harps and songs were sung by women named
Felicia, Prisicilla and Carlotta.
I must say though
that something is missing.
That something that makes the days just days and the nights only nights
and the grand sights I’ve seen
merely pictures that my eyes capture and store in my mind
just like
neatly lined photographs
in
a photo album that gets placed in a linen closet
or lost under a pile of
books
high on a shelf
gathering dust
in the dark
So
I wonder
what that missing thing could be…
Oh yea.
Sure.
That’s it.
What can I say?
There are
Songs to be sung and all that fun stuff!
More Later!
Love from
a.m.m.
I’m with ya!

I would have thought a Time Lord like this would have been lurking around somewhere here. You will be sure to find him on Rainbow Beach which is only a hop step and a jump away
