Aubade (Leaving Paris)



Wide artillery corrupted hillside

she held in her body historic

press occupation buried

layers of prison, distant faction


as dawn would rise and the panoply

fall asking our feet to proceed

for their soulless close, warm 

germinal rain by the shutter mural,


in a distant window, not so far now

we held one another’s faces, 

shared a quieted kiss, close in the nerve

uncoupled as the blue blades became


the rest of the sky, and fixed,

to departed life, so ordering the clouds.
