used to wear these things
called sweatshirts at this point I'm

high-rise apartments
modernist utopia
don't want to live here

-- 15 July 2015 in Creteil, the suburb of Paris where I've been working this summer

Saw a stuffed weasel
at the flea market today
couldn't ask how much

Chopin's candle burns
Rossini's tomb is larger
but candle is out

swirling from nowhere
the sky opposed to color
coats everything white

can't remember such green hills
we don't know this place

charred trunks probe the sky
bushy growth sprouts from the roots
fire grows more distant

driving themselves to our place
