Paris Love Songs: Nos. 5 & 6


by Steven Gowin


5

I lived as Parisian
In another life
I died young probably
Running from Nazis

Before I'd realized
That although charming
The city beats a hard
And ruthless heart


6

Overheard
What the heck is 
The Crypt of Saint Therese

Aucune idée
That's French for search me
Some fragments I reckon

Once we visited
Mary's skull in the South
Tiny and in a plastic bubble

Well by God
They certainly
Do love their bones
