The visitors

They arrived early the relatives, unpacking suitcases
kissing, jubilation and breakfast, during when the latest gossip
of those not present was dissected.
Then they all went to the beach, leaving the house in chaos.
A buffet had been prepared, and the French brought wine and
goose liver; the French are sceptical of wine not made in Franch.
My god, how they talked like rapid gunfire, retreated to my study
and was not missed.
At six, there were movements, people going to the toilets
and the clatter of the preparing of breakfast and more talking
sleeping in my study, I came out at ten.
intense talking like everything had to be said and more kisses
before cramming into the car, leaving us exhausted.
