Fin du Monde
For years I refused to drink beer, any beer,
awful stuff to my taste. When I did, though,
rare as it was, it was only to “fit in” – and to
avoid snide and unflattering remarks from
friends when I didn’t..
Beer has a long history reaching back to
the days of the pharoahs. Even the artisans

Le Monde
he sat there
sipping his expresso
between bites
of a warm croissant
reading every line
of Le Monde daily
no different really
than each morning
yet somehow
still surprised
at the insanity
never ceasing to amaze

Haiti, Le Monde Vous Ecoute
Proud people of the Haitian Ile,
Stand firm with head held high.
Though days may last for a while,
The world has begun to hear your cry.
Le monde ecoute les voix criant;
On voit et meme se sent votre douleur.
Avec vous, on est priant.
Avec vous, aussi on pleure.
Two plus centuries ago,
You proved strength and gained liberty.
For

Le Monde a L'Envers
Le monde à l'envers,
Où tout le monde peut voir,
Que le ciel est ici, vivant,
Dans la ville de mes rêves.
The world upside down,
Where everyone can see,
That heaven is here, alive,
In the city of my dreams.

by the Seine dreaming of stars gliding...
when she starts her swift danse macabre*,
to forget she was a famous femme savante.*
In autres temps,* Marie was a beauty:
who conquered wealthy men in France and Italy...
her soprano's voice stunned them in each scene!
Ma belle Marie,* tout

Carrie At Cafe Du Monde
Her voice was soft on the telephone
She had gentility, like the part of the city she once lived
We talked of tragedy and chicory coffee
My friends had told me the situation was still grim
I asked her of Galatoire's and Brennan's
Of the Ninth Ward, and of her home
While I, pining and homesick, sipped coffee the color
Of the
