Tomorrow is Dryburn:
a dawn of a beautiful day,
a dawn of another beautiful day.
Tomorrow is Lyon:
midnight cocktails, premier suite;
later, sunken whirlpool bath, pain au chocolat.
Tomorrow is Mauritius:
infinity pool, cornflour beach,
sugar cane and street market.
Tomorrow is Catalunya:
human towers, Roman towers,
paella and local rioja.
Tomorrow is Malta:
the rooftop pool, a crystal lagoon,
penning a novella on the dark balcony.
Tomorrow is Antibes:
beach picnic and luxury ice cream,
the sea warm late into the evening.
Tomorrow is Rome:
tiramisu in the rain, cats,
timelessness on a priceless timepiece.
Tomorrow is a state of mind:
a souvenir from country of origin
and a suitcase full of possibilities.
