An arc of embodiment Decadent perfumed petticoats swirled to order Power ****** from the sweat of the land Stone hewn from its very foundations A spider's web encloses the flowering art Phoenician helmeted raiders Roman taxing invaders Trespassing Gaulish voices Thumbed rosary transcenders The dawn of a walled resistance A Religious pandemic Storming Carcistes Razats rebel Friends denounce their own A castle evokes revolutionary fever Ghosts reverberate running the embattlements Proletarians open the walls Guardians red and blue White clergy take the souls Swords discarded, a tricolore soars Slaves to the chisel Open pits for Vulcan to dip his toes Gothic Cavernous quarried vaults      in search of Sade’s demons Stone to shape Provencal style Dereliction a Maquis delight Refuging resistance and the persecuted Destruction and collapse Artisans and folk revive Paint brushes to the fore Transientents page the streets with blood red gold A coat of arms rings its bell Lowly hovels now adored Gaping holes swallow the light Sleepers enrichen the ground Too long a museum Stirring string notes Cherups embrace their calling Voices rouse the deities Banners furl in mistral breaths Spirits hightail Lacoste’s new allies Iced sun rises over Luberons range Warmth caresses the blood of day School children playing, wake the sleepy Warm stews vie with Pistou Hallowed vines are groomed Long walks with herbs to find Boars try and outwit their hunters Dogs smell the truffles afar Ventoux snows cool the view Cyclists roar through in celebration Village a transforming microcosm Artists absorb, evolving a creation Animate habitants living and the vogue A hearty cocooned culture emerging out into      longer days luring the coming spring

Lacoste in Winter

The second of a four seasons poetic series. A village stripped bare to its origins during winter.
