exiled to the corner
window on the dusk
clouds hung like frothed milk
din of the coffee machine
cloaks jazz and conversation
green straws
whipped cream
a worn burgundy armchair
tea spicy and warm
a favorite indulgence
leaving bird's nest offices
suits patter by
pointy-toed italian shoes
girl by her lonesome
is this seat taken?
remember to avoid eye contact
he is eager to find an excuse
cheeks flush pink as my sweater
These sculptures have long since departed,
art in Paris, especially sculpture, being very transient.
