I was born A Scorpio snake Longing for The white hot desert As pure as a needle tip Under a naked flame As I slither And scratch around The dirty streets Of humanity Trying my best Not to bite Or sting Down Rue de Bellevue To deposit the glass From the previous nights Of drinking And writing Trapped In a circle of fire As the bottles shatter I see a handsome man Outside the fleuriste Giving a fresh bouquet of flowers To a young smiling beauty Unaware Of the silent sobs From the plants Decapitated for colour Euthanized for endeavour In the city of love And romance As I go back The Parisian sun Appears from behind The grey clouds Warming my skin Before it is shed And gifted To the night Once again
