The Jolly Tupper

Topics: classic

Sun on the eiderdown         breaks tiny corners off the bedspread, declares green plants its bidding         before summoning Fragonard's maiden         off her swing - so richly dressed         in picture from the sunlit wall.         Expensive tabac from an imported humidor         etches tiny leaves         their stems as faces against the glass,         rich aroma, trsor, like the Jolly Tupper print         preparing his bowl,         drawing on the clay stem         as if from a height watching ships come in.         Smoke cold as blue fungus over outside buildings         follows horses with hooves to split cobblestones         stuck in the city's eye,         more than mountains around         the stone filled ravines         of the rich man's heart.
