Decorating the pole ππ✨.
"All the cities that have reigned over the world, Babylon, Alexandria, Athens, Rome, Venice, Paris, have by a general law been as licentious as thy were powerrful, as if their dissoluteness was necessary to their splendour." --preface to Ancient Manners by Pierre LouΓΏs ("Privately Printed", 1928?)
"the longest night not yet ended"
this night would be long without counting it
eyes on a platter · a ceasefire lost
it rained all day · the rusty leaves soaking
into the green & brown stubbly lawn
then in the ray-shot not to be called night
all day & still a homeless cart stands
near our Coit McDonald's · shrouded against
eyes & the rain · asking us to care
