“But they’re Madrileña out
half the (I’m an early sleeper)
night
and then the dead-time siesta
afternoons....
in Paris...,”
Salaam-Shalom*, forty years
away from the next guillotining
slide into (ça tourne pas rond/
the wheels aren’t turning)
re-dreaming the (re-defined)
dream.
* Salaam - “Peace” in Arabic, Shalom, “Peace” in Hebrew.
