Little rose of the French alleys

   Little rose of the French alleys   
had come over the canopy
fiddling with ideas as old as his pants
while from below
washing the bodies.

It was moving
it was moaning
there were plenty of them
and the rain over it
served a fine accompaniment
punctuating the pang of the horse
desperate for freedom
on the plateaus hemmed with short grass.

Little rose put on her glasses
and everything turned pink again
the fruits
the corbelling of the windows
the cat that passed by
neighbor's horn
the very air smelled of roses.

To run away
not
rather join
such music by Lully
harpsichord on the happy event
with wild shivers
childhood pet peeves
which put us all faceted
we the eyes of the cyclone
plagued by the passing of the witness.

Little rose measure your steps
it will only last a while
woman will come
adorned with tenderness
without spirit of revenge
give birth to the Spirit
impulsive whisper
denting the coral reef
of a language
rose
in the swoon of the lagoon
inner kingdom
where to be born and reborn
in welcoming what is to come.
