Parisian Skies

The skies of Paris were lit up
in 1940, when the Luftwaffe 
rained down armament...

Burned again in student riots
in 1968, with the protests
against parliament

Then again an apartment block
In 2019, Feb, arson after a 
neighbours' argument

And now the skies light up once more 
In 2019, now Our Lady's flames 
on the firmament
