Mes filles et Moi


We are turtle doves,

standing on the Arc.

We can hear clocks, spun

from the Sacred Heart.

We see the lattice,

an iron arrow.

We fleck the river,

reaching the Louvre.

We find our expanse

of life at long last.

We edge towards her

(Mona Lisa) smile.


Our warm hearts flutter,

at odds with the cold.

We see hearts racing

by the Parc des Princes.

The mesh of these days

is beyond worth it.

Our dreams fleck our flesh,

leaving the Louvre.

We form new fixings

by the riverside.

We belong here and

breathe at the same time.
