re-edit

in France & that one bar in

 

Paris as i recollect it was taxidermy

fetishes mounted on walls

squirrels, deer, a plastic baby, other birds

we drank grapes skins maturations

staring at chloe’s bra in the bar

brawling a spot where there weren’t but

blue water fowl on her yellow blouse a red spot

of clo’s colloquy

 

llover is

to rain

as lover is

to rain

in private

 

deduced thusly red with malbec of wine casks wising up

or flush with a red effort like baby physiognomy

gets red or maybe it wasn’t much

more than grappa’s gloss

is some simple

transparency

 

is another matter.  Lips is another night.
