from For Tourists & Armies
One way to draw France is in scallops:
Dunkirk to Brest,
Brest to Saint-Jean-de-Luz,
The imperceptible stone sag
of certain dolmens
over the Pyrenees between Saint-Jean
& Banyuls-sur-Mer
Then, to Nice
Nice, skirting the Alps to Lauterbourg
From Lauterbourg back
to where you began
For the meticulous,
the additions of Cherbourg, Toulon, &
even Le Havre,
Maybe Givet
– Amanda Calderon (2014)
