Still Life in Paris

We leave a few things behind

but take much away

Not material items

or memory of the best places to go

 

A red sunset along the Seine

that lights the buttresses

of the Notre Dame Cathedral

the walls turned crimson

 

Small boats pushed with long sticks

by boys at the fountain

Somber look of statues in the Louvre

seen only from the outside looking in

 

People wait by the glass pyramid

formations of people heavy buildings

flowing water brought together

in a still life in Paris
