Maureen Seaton: Love in the Time of Snow

October 25, 2016 by PBQ

Lafayette, Colorado       

                        People who live here 
                        speak very little French. 

                        Lafayette, nous voilà! 
                        they sometimes say. 

                        Although Lafayette,   
                        famous Hero of Two 
                          
                        Worlds, (our world et 
                        le monde de Lafayette) 
                          
                        never skied much past 
                        the bunny slope and 
                          
                        few remember him slip- 
                        ping bourbon in cocoa 
                          
                        after snowboarding— 
                        in fact, few remember 
   
             him at all—it’s still 
             historical as hell here, 
  
             a veritable winter love- 
             fest de la révolution, 
  
             hippies and nobles lug- 
             ing down the Rockies.
