GLASSHOUSE 1915

GLASSHOUSE 1915


"People in glass houses
Shouldn't throw stones"
There were many who
threw stones at you
venerable glasshouse
where the hot smell of summer
Entombs the tomatoes
grown by an
Invisible gardener.


From the valley
a century past you
vibrated to trucks
carrying the young dead
towards their never-ending bed.

Fortunately the Romans had
straightened out these
Norman roads, perhaps
anticipating the need for
The axis from Amiens to
Eternity.

Foutoux.
