Sylvain Gerard . work 6 – the faun with the little chair

   Flew  
the young man with the cigarette
in this imbroglio of stairs
without the step appearing
in exchange for a small chair
sit it down what will people say
with his long fingers
throw the derision
sparingly
Trojan horse
break and enter
vincent's room
down the hall of expectations
the cat jumps on the table
hug the child's neck
severing with a terminal glance
the game of a thousand and one temptations
breaking nights oven
raised trembling
the paddle wheel of renewals
in the cool morning
nevertheless cauterized
buttercups of these thoughts
with haunting breath
waivers
at dock
without the train tearing the air
of its invertebrate stridency
accumulation of combustion waste
for in part
renew the ardent bending of the faun
in front of the chanting virgin.

Behind the window
winter trees
avoided deciding on the spot
words of love from a bygone past.
