CLAUDE'S CIGARETTE

The smoke rose from his
cigarette
it twists and turns
exotic beauty
great danger
ash and arteries
mix and mingle

WALLS OF LOUVRE

Standing where there
once walked the feet
of many a king
lie secret chambers
that hold the secrets
of the world's
civilisations
as silent gods
crave to endure
the admiration of
the new world

DAY IN AUTUMN

Windy day
blown seagulls
Swept foam
topped waves
Trees bent twice
above sweating rocks
a day of movement
and plaintive calls
