paris21

fate of nations veering like any man’s 

on the soft hills of paris. if i could paint, i’d paint

it as undulating anemones dressed by sleeves

of water: just the affect of another unwatched host.

swish — it could all go with the northeasternly

diagonally across our last moment. all laurels taken.

not another voice was needed. ok, maybe just

a sweet little whispering or a moan.

cherry red ‘oh’s to throbs of time.
