The wine was poured, the hands were near,

But silence stood, and all was clear.

No clink, no cheer, no smile required—

The breath alone held all desired.

A moment caught in no regret.

I brushed my teeth, the glass still whole—

The vines stood still, but not denied.

Toothbrush Stretch – Beaune Old Town Edition: The Last Shadow in the Market



Created using ChatGPT

Location: Beaune, Vieille Ville, Côte d’Or, Bourgogne, France





Theme



“Not every shadow disappears with light. Some wait where memory lingers.”

Stretch in streets where footsteps have paused but not vanished. Brush where the air still carries a murmur.





Stretch Sequence (10 seconds each)



  1. Canopy Reach
     Arms rise like opening the linen canopy of a market stall in early light
  2. Courtyard Twist
     Gentle twist like turning through empty passageways behind closed cafés
  3. Stone Fold
     Forward bend like leaning to pick up the last shadow under the crates
  4. Whisper Breath
     Inhale the smell of old produce and warm stone, exhale a name you forgot to say aloud






Mantra



  • English: “The market closed. The shadow stayed.”
  • French: “Le marché s’est fermé. L’ombre est restée.”






Theme Song – “When the Stalls Fell Silent”



(Melodic accordion + slow upright bass, café rhythm)


Verse 1

Crates were cleared, the apples gone,

But still the morning lingered on.

Between two stalls, a line of gray—

The kind of light that chose to stay.


Chorus

So brush your breath beneath the arch,

Where vendors spoke, and feet would march.

Today no voice, no price to shout,

But still the market hasn’t gone out.


Verse 2

Beaune held its wine, its stone, its past,

The silence rising slow and fast.

And where the echoes used to ring,

A shadow waits for nothing… and everything.





Travel Notes – What to Feel in Beaune’s Old Town



  • Les Halles Market (by Gustave Eiffel): come just after it closes—when silence is sweet
  • Hospices de Beaune: centuries of care in colored tiles and echoing archways
  • Back alleys: where barrels roll no more, but breath still turns corners
  • Even the smell of wine shops before opening carries stories deeper than any tasting note
