Metranil Vavin
eshleman's metro vavin
in paris
The café dims and I walk my home
with my little dog. It is 1955 in Paris,
it is when Mayakofsky killed himself in Russia.
I still have not understood his hand,
his huge head like my own turning beacon.
I looked at him from my little level,
looked at him the one time we met
and he crushed my shoulder
grasping all of me fondly.
