Rouen Repeat




"This morning all trees are cathedrals:
Gothic white gobs
icing, as if
                       loosed layers and knobs,                               
from mad pastry chefs.
In a frenzy of dollops,
every branch embellished
all the way up,
sugared with relish.
Monet would pause
in happy regard
to his own Rouen
in my own backyard."
