Preparing for Rudi’s return, Juliette’s mother
helped me with her sewing machine, made
curtains for the flat, special ones for bathroom
and kitchen, the sitting room and bedroom,
made a new duvet in the same material
I felt like a real lady, measuring and sewing,
Juliette’s father helped me paint the walls in
my favourite colour – alpine white, it looks
glorious, I slept over at their place to get out
of the fumes, like parents of my own
I enjoyed every moment - I could dream
about Rudi as much as I wanted to, slept like
a queen in a beautiful room; preparing surprises
for loved ones while being spoilt – I’m overcome,
can’t express my joy and delight...
