Calerie and I had lived in our apartment <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For just over two years <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We shared a balcony with number 86<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which was very lightly used<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until a blonde girl from New Zealand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moved in with her pet cat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It appeared that the apartment <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was owned by Alison’s older brother <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had planned to sell it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or at least take an income <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he was growing tired <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the thousands of miles of travel <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My partner immediately bonded with Louise <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who was a sleek white cat with deep blue eyes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She quickly invited our new neighbour to dinner <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And we found out that she was a stone mason <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who had been part of a family of stone masons <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mainly based on the South Island in New Zealand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alison worked mainly in churches and chapels <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And was a very skilled artist in stone <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was always engaged for her delicate work <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some were repairs to original creations <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which had been damaged by the passing of time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also designed her own friezes in light relief <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And although Calerie saw more of her new friend <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We spent many kind evenings on our shared balcony <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which overlooked the Lux Cinema and the Deux Trois Caf\u00e9 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And was only a short walk from Le Parc aux Arbres Blancs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
