SUMMER DAY 5th of August 2015 by Foutoux (draft)



How many 5th of August's
Have I see?  Sixty
Six O.But today there never was a
5th of August like this.

Clouds had left the blue air
The aeroplane adds a sharp
Diagonal across the feathered sky.


A combined harvester harvested,
the swifts swifted, the cows cowed,
the hollyhocks waved hello.

Low on petrol, the gague touches the
Red Zone while I,
temporarily, live in
The Green Zone.

If I told you it was
Le Seigneur who gave me
this 5th of August, that there never
had been one like it,
You would say this was
Absurd.  But ask
St. Augustus.  He said the same.

No there definitely hasn't been a
5th of August quite like this.
