Rachelle Bijou
à Pied
Somewhere along rue Truffaut
in the 17th
in front of the Préfecture du Police
with a bunch of documents
translated into French
I’m waiting to get
my Carte de Séjour
this morning
in the 87th step
In the mist of a process
across the street designed
Studio Molière to secure
—house is tiny, façade filthy my work papers
shutters off their hinges in France
On Pont Mirabeau now
thinking the title of the poem
begins with the word Sous
Apollinaire grieving over a lost love
and fixed—transfixed
watching
the Seine
These days
between my New York life
and this new one
I find myself relieved to be alone
coming to think of Paris
as just another borough
of the city
Forsythias
have burst out of nowhere
rue Théophile Gautier
rue Degas
the dark blue plaque
on a building along rue Gros
reminder
Peintre
1771-1835
