Blessed beyond interruptions
Cold granite walls and dusty wooden ceilings
Are the trappings of Fabien's cell

His
Home away from hell
Hell being the home he left in Étretat
A haven of tourist near the beaches of Normande

Where boys considered men came to die for Freedom
Where his great grandfather bled out an existance with his three sons amidst a ragged war of worlds
Where his father made a livelihood hocking rustic bread to weary travelers
And where he, Fabien, long for more than sights could behold.
