Autumn Menagerie 18: Solitude


Paris, Courtyard of The Museum of Arms, by A. D. .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solitary walker,
Astride sunshine
Gently settling over
cobble-stone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The gutters
Form a Tau
You are too distant
To note.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aloof and alone,
You brave ancient
Cannon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreboding shade
Of the entrance
Fails to induce
A turn.
