A Blue Wake For New Orleans (Villanelle)
Collection
~ dirge villanelle in september
There was a rhyming city on a blue bayoo 'Til a wicked wind laid waste A nothing sound in a city's soul, and a nothing you can do
There was a windy will and a blue horn - you A single name that was left in haste There was a rhyming city on a blue bayoo
There is a wailing city, a water high - and you Left amid the residues up to your waist A nothing sound in a city's soul, and a nothing you can do
There was a loving city in a blue hoodoo Through a hard-knocks school, a river's waste There was a rhyming city on a blue bayoo
A full moon hue, a relation to dew Jeweling on a spider's bed - so chaste A nothing sound in a city's soul, and a nothing you can do
There is a silent city, a blue shirt crew The yellow vest of savior waits There was a rhyming city on a blue bayoo A nothing sound in a city's soul, and a nothing you can do
