a rose of the Jura mountains
from afar it glimpses
a mild smile urging
a wayward wanderer
to try it on for size
this rose I encounter rarely
but to this day - genteel
and seemingly sincere -
the Juras speak the language
of Ronsard, Molliere and Proust
and the rose will bloom
in my mind for a long time
with the language in common
