Fugitives, Paris 1632

we stood
were well

you pushed 
I fell

they came
I hid

she ran
I did

they chased
I stopped

she turned
I dropped

they shot
I died

she fled
I sighed

they went
her too

I died 
for you

.. I died
.. for you

you used
me too

I must thank you deeply, it was only by reading your footle a couple of days ago that I realised this poem that I wrote in 2019 was a footle!! It's inspired by one of my favourite books The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas. So thank you, and for you very supportive words.
