Paris

by ssa virgo - Not entered

The trees bent sofly ,
to your wind
rolling down the rue du seine,
charleville was behind you 
that pain which destiny gave you
lay in your heart,
they knew you were the harbinger
of all things immortal and wicked
raging against the little men 
with clean finger nails and candy hearts
they laughed,
laughed until they were eclipsed and dethroned

The sun god in harrar running guns
dreaming of the day that pain came
and left you changed and hollow
too much of another world
too little in ours
finally, in marsailles
the cancer that ate your heart 
gave you back to the black fates
that gace you to us

Reason for writing:

    My resons are simple. I wished to pay homage to the greatest french poet that ever picked up a quill and by that
shining a light onto his work that is given very little due by academia.
