If I Just Talked To Clarisse...

apocalyptical surrender 

no one touching her 

withered leaves are falling 

her heart - a canopy 

mortal face of beauty 

smudged by evil rains 

search for inner shelter 

broken glass of puzzle 

pony tail of sorrow 

smile of timid child 

empty nest enduring 

reality of time 

Clarisse of Eastern Paris 

children mocking her 

waiting for her route 

She was never seen again...
