“Grandmother’s Note” : A poem by Charles Pierre
Posted in Photograph by Paul Goldfinger, Photographic Gallery France, Photographic Gallery, Black and White, Photography Gallery France, Poems by Charles Pierre, Poetry on Blogfinger, tagged A poem by Charles Pierre on Blogfinger on October 16, 2021| 3 Comments »
Hi Paul:
Greetings from Manhattan. Over fifty years ago, my grandmother said a few things to me shortly before she died that I knew would eventually find their way into a poem. Here is “Grandmother’s Note” from my 2008 collection, Father of Water.
Best wishes,
Charles Pierre

Grandmother’s Note
By Charles Pierre
Looking for less with each added year,
I’ve begun to live in the small space
that surrounds me now, in the shadows
that gather at my feet and follow
as I walk along, and in the breezes
that take my shape for an instant,
leaving nothing but gentle creases
in my hair and a cool ripple
over my skin. Expecting little,
I go where my handwriting leads me –
become just a sound, a word, a phrase,
part of the impression on the page
for a moment, not an old woman
with the obvious lines of age, but
a clear thought in this surrounding space

“Michael” Paris, 1991. By Paul Goldfinger ©
Paul Goldfinger has published quite a few of his Paris photos including this portrait. One time one of our Paris images (of the Eiffel Tower) was used in a commercial in Spain. I never saw the commercial, but they sent me $100.00, enough to go for dinner at Don Pepe in Newark.
About 10 years ago our photo of the Asbury Park lifeguards was chosen for the cover of the book “New Jersey 24/7”
But now we have some news: One of our Paris images has been chosen for the cover of a book to be published in London in 2022. This will be our second book cover.
We cannot offer the details now, but this is very exciting, so I will share it with our readers —–Paul

The Place Saint-Michel dates back to 1860. The fountain is the center-piece, but the open area around it is where people relax, sit, stroll and socialize. It reminds me of the fountain area in Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village, New York. It is in the Latin Quarter neighborhood on the Left Bank of Paris.
Paris is a walking city. The cafés, parks, fountains, churches, bridges across the Seine, meals in bistros, strolls around town such as in the Isle de la Cité or around Notre Dame—all of it lends itself to romantic moments. The city especially shines at night—it is the City of Lights. And those moments, as brief or as foolish as they might be, create lasting memories. The Place de Saint Michel (above) is like that if you just hang around for even 15 minutes.
