Good afternoon & 2007
by Rufo Quintavalle
[ poetry - july 07 ]
Good afternoon
There was a storm and I was tarpaulined
to the kitchen floor, hungover and brooding
on the big orange pumpkins growing right
beside the traintracks of the Versailles train.
2007
The city's filled with seagulls, foxes, spores.
Our winter clothes will be museum pieces,
then the water will cover our museums.
