Tables strewn with
Large, yellow flowers
With footsteps like round
Buttons,
And eyelashes that sometimes
Dance.
The children gone before,
With Gilda,

That’s my cousin.
Maybe they walked
Where cypresses shook down
And the blue birds nest

This was inspired by a collection of poems I read by Guillaume Apollinaire
