Stone

Again I dreamed of being in Paris last night.

I could not see me,
but I could see the city,
unchanged.

All the stone walls and 
gray white stone of heavy buildings
that rose long ago 
from the minds of builders
and the quarries of stone.

Again I looked for a telephone.
I wanted to call for someone 
I knew long ago.
Call to warn them that 
things can happen.

Even in Paris.

That is a great poem about a horrible subject. I wrote poems after the shooting in the nightclub Pulse in Orlando, with that sense of terror and sadness and anger the same time, combined with helplessness.... Welcome to PoetrySoup.

Cheers, Diane. : ) A nice eerie sense, and a great location.
