"triomphe" poems
Spanish Guitars
A few years ago, in 2011, I went to a concert of young classical guitarists. Just before or after, I don't recall, I saw an exhibition of Picasso's guitars at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC (http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1101).
This poem ensued. This is one of the lost poems I mentioned, recently rediscovered on an archaeological dig.
Spanish Guitars
two weeks pass.
I have seen
two guitars
one of wood,
one of sheet metal.
both were alive,
both were inanimate
both birthed for display,
useful for granting pleasure and
heating up le jus d'creation
products of a tradesman's craft,
animated to pierce my brain and
pleasure me with the realization
that when you see
what I see
When you,
you hear,
What I see
we all perforce speak but one language,
an alphabet of music, art and love
A young,
oh so most beautiful
Croat guitarist girl,
Ana, coaxes an urgency
from her love, the blonde wood,
she takes Piazzola's notes,
as if they were Picasso's thoughts
and set them within so
days later, the resonance plucks
at my temples
Picasso, like a little boy,
collects collaged bits and pieces of
life's stuff most ordinary,
postage stamps, playing cards,
wallpaper, pieces of cardboard,
cutouts from Le Journal,
and with fingers delicate
sticks and glues discrete notes,
individually nothing
but pieces of this and that,
bits and bobs
superimposed on faux woodwork,
presenting an instrument tooled to
conjures up a milonga^,
the sounds of angels dying,
a fandango of trembling tones
a sonnet of sounds,
celebrating human touch
upon animal, strings taut,
feasts both, a banquet,
a triomphe of sounds
that tutors my senses
to hear sheet metal guitars
imprisoned in museum glass
gush sounds of parallel lines
and delicate contrasts,
A duet of animate, inanimate
Virtuosity
All is clarified.
One language.
Many dialects.
Both, Spanish guitars.
^ a milonga has many meanings, but here, refers to a Argentine tango dance party

The City of Lights
liberty's burning flame
black terror assailed
to despoil her aims
A lamp to the world
illumes liberated pathways
its Arc de Triomphe heart
scarlet droplets stain
the secular graces
of enlightened ages
defiled and condemned
by fanatical excess
civilizations clash
social fabrics torn
Muslims denigrated
republicans mourn
the death of tolerance
spiraling spike of hate
a fractured city
the closure of gates
dark shadows trundle
down The Champs-Elysees
the fraternity of brotherhood
deeply wounded and frayed
republican ideals
will be surely tested
Charlie Hebdo's critical voice
sorely missed, forever rested

That watershed moment
when the eye goggles comes off,
is akin to winning the Burleigh Horse Trials
with the much coveted Trophy.
Meeting a Rambler as an equal
on an arduous fog clouded valley
along the Devil's Punchbowl,
or a French Phrase Book
that's almost perusal by nature,
under the Arc de Triomphe
How I long to be accomplished
as one of the few, rather than a
casual follower of Velleity .

Peut s’ouvrir un débat
long comme l’éternité
de savoir si vrai ou faux
avait raison Don Gomez
qui harangua son fils
en disant :
« Ce n’est que par le sang
Qu’on lave tel outrage. »
Ô quel mot fer,
quel mot acier,
sans une goute d’étain !
Le mot sans verdure,
le mot rouge sans mélange,
plus rouge que le sang,
visant perdre le souffle
au donneur de soufflet !
qui pourra le baptiser cannibalisme
ou bien légitime défense ?
Quoi qu’on dise, tranchons :
ce fut verser le sang.
Et jugeons :
Ce qu’à l’époque fut d’or
l’acte de le Cid1 Compeador
ne le serait point aujourd’hui.
C’est comme le triomphe d’Achille2
Sur son ennemi Hector.
Les deux grand guerriers, avides de sang
et de gloire malsaine,
vallées et plaines coururent,
lacs et rivières nagèrent,
étangs et marécages pataugèrent,
monts et collines gravirent,
et descendirent en volant,
se voulant l’un l’autre proie,
et l’emporta le plus criminel.
A l’Epoque Contemporaine
Pas toute victoire ne se couvre de lauriers.
La Pucelle d’Orléans ne fut-elle
brûlée vive par l’ennemi,
son tueur ignoré par tant,
et son Nom à jamais porta la couronne
à la façon de la Sainte Vierge
qui jamais ne lutta que contre le péchée,
et son arme au combat ne fut que piété,
contrairement à Charlemagne
qui fut couronné de fer
dont il eut son bon usage.
Le trépas d’un héro ne tue pas l’héroïsme.
Ce fut le cas, ce semble, du Prince
Né **** d’un palais royal.
Ce Prince qu’on le nomme :
Mohammed Bouazizi.
La montée au sommet ne fut pas improviste
ni sujet de surprise ;
c’est le fruit du courage bénit,
lequel conditionnera et la pluie et le soleil
dans tous les coins du monde.
1. Le Cid : Personnage Principal de la Tragi-comédie qui porte son nom de Pierre Corneille dont la première représentation eut lieu le 5 janvier 16372.
2. Achille et Hector sont les personnages les plus célèbres de L’Iliade d’Homère VIIIe siècle av. J.-C.

1 Iron-bodied, you stand giant;
a thousand feet into the air, rigid
metal swaying in the wind.
2 Neck-breaking,
3 Sears Tower -- world-reflecting, glass-paned --
eclipses you, yet pales in your shadow.
4 Your ironwork: murky, camouflage brown
in the daylight, beautiful only by the twinkling dusk.
5 Prostrated, the multitudes hope to ascend,
flashes melding with the hourly light show --
6 Capture the splendor across the city!
7 L'Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysee, Notre Dame, ...
8 Euros squandered in trite gift shops,
9 -- Attention les pickpockets! --
10 Key chains, pens, 4 by 6 postcards...
Miss you loads. Wish you were here.
11 I climbed you. And now? 12 I watch
from Trocadero; fountains alive, illusions in place
but observed from afar, removed; 13 Apart
from the greedy, flocking masses.
14 One day, you will fall, and with you
the congregations that kneel before you
to wait in the line of impatient,
shoving, babbling, 15 Hallelujah tourists.
16 And when your feral echoes
fade to rubble on the crucified pelouse,
17 We at the grand marble square
will blink and miss it and wonder:
18 Were you ever there at all?

That year
in Paris
you took
Dostoyevsky’s novel
Crime and Punishment
to read when
you weren’t touring
the sites
and you became
so immersed in the book
that you became
Raskolnikov
and killed
the old woman
and her half sister
and looked about the streets
you looked for the detective
Porfiry whom you suspected
was following you about
and as you sat
in the Champs-Elysées
or stood by
the Arc de Triomphe
you thought of all
the famous
who had stayed here
in this fine city
Henry Miller
Ezra Pound
Hemmingway
Debussy
Van Gogh
and that fanatical
conqueror ******
with his sick smile
under that
silly moustache
and that evening
your brother
in the hotel room
puked in the bidet
after sour wine
or too rich food
as you looked out
the window on
the Parisian street
to see if Porfiry
was out there
waiting for you
to charge you
with the murderous crime
you didn’t do.

Sonya liked the Eiffel Tower,
the art galleries,
the Arc de Triomphe.
We met in a café
in a back street of Paris,
coffee, small cream cakes,
she smoking
her French cigarettes.
You have regrets?
She asked.
Most of us do,
I said.
When my father died
I regret things
I didn't say to him,
she said,
always the regrets,
and when Mother go
and leave,
I thought it was
because of me,
I regret not trying
to find her
when I was older,
she added.
I sipped the coffee,
taking in her blonde
pulled-back-in-a-tight-pony-tail hair,
her red lips,
opening and closing with words.
Regrets are useless things,
I said,
you can do nothing with them,
they change nothing,
don't make one
feel better, only worse.
She looked at me,
her steely blue eyes
sharp as blades.
One cannot choose
to regret or not,
it is there, like scar,
one cannot push out,
she said.
I regret having regrets,
I said,
if I counted up all my regrets
and could turn them
into coins I’d be a rich guy.
She inhaled on her cigarette;
her fingers were browning
where she held
the cigarette so often.
I regret my first boyfriend,
she said,
he wanted *** all the time,
like animal, always
the wanting *** *** ***
I looked at the waitress
passing by the table,
tight black dress,
white apron
tight about her waist,
nice legs.
Yes, that can be a problem
I guess,
I said,
awkward on dates;
when or do you
get down to ***
on the second date
or third or not at all?
She sipped her coffee,
looked at me,
blue eyes to sink in.
Not have ***
she said,
until both are ready,
until both agree
time is right.
I noted the waitress
pass by again.
Nice behind,
I thought.
Regrets,
Sonya said,
always there,
like sin,
once it bite into soul
hard to get out.
Yes, I guess so,
I said,
I've been in
the confessional more times
than a *****
drops her draws.
She flushed, looked away.
I put a hand
to my lips;
the things(regretted),
I thought,
I say.

on the steps of the notre dame
i lost my sense of color
every moonbeam through the
cracked walls of the House of God
danced around me like blue gypsies
performing a ritual upon
every ringlet of hair on my head
in the catacombs of paris
i lost my sense of touch
every skull feeling like silk
dead calcium caressing
the flesh beneath which
my bones were moving
alive and restless
beneath the arc de triomphe
i lost myself
the curve of stone caving in on me
like a Parisian Goliath
and I, a madman David
names of fallen soldiers
engraved upon the walls
breathed back to life
from dust they have returned
they reach into my cerebrum
their stone fingers pulsing
with the hymnals of war
to meet with the battle
of indigos and crimsons coursing
through every nerve of my anatomy
behind the eiffel tower
i lost my art
paris lights beating down
a beast sleeping through the
tides of eulogies and odes
its orphans have to offer

Night sky over Paris, doesn't speak starry love tonight
intimate soul, maker of my spirit's whole,
Paris would love to hold close to it's broad heart,
didn't we elope through the Metro tunnel
of experiences,then I made you wear my coat
to protect you from winter cold, hid you
in the cozy interior of my memory well lit,
where you wait on a hope, unsuspecting
losing all sense of time.Still at Arc de Triomphe ,
I wait for the train that never comes, I suspect
you are a prisoner, in the urban jungle of La Defense
beyond the lonely whiteness of Grande Arche
time the marauder comes in without knocking,
he must have took you away, none will know when
the tunnel of our experiences, once we knew are bare
I'll be going alone soon in a dark train to nowhere
where are you, where are you, my voice chokes and fail

He Told Me About Paris
he told me about Paris
after making love…
how he once sat in the Café de Flore
as a boy… awaiting his mother
who danced for a living…
he told me about Paris
over morning coffee, and no mention of the night before
he talked with love for a city I’ll never know….
strolling along the river Seine
in sunsets of orange and tangerine…
he told me about the The Musée du Louvre
as he made Coriander omelettes
… squeezing fresh lemon in glasses of ice water…
la Ville Lumière… he murmured as he gazed deep into my eyes
City of Light and Love…
I’ll take you there… if you dare to come
he promised as he lay a soft tender kiss on each toe…
he told me about Paris… and the Notre-Dame Cathedral
and Café de la Paix, where the streets were Prolific
with revellers and the after-opera crowd…
I’ll take you to The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel
he whispered as he placed a Bracelet on my wrist
and we can hold hands as we stroll around the monument…
I’ll take you to Paris, in the Autumn, he promised
our feet will crunch the golden leaves of the Jardin des Tuileries….
… so young I was… such a dreamer… floating on visions that he wove with love-
- he told me about Paris, his voice husky with longing
and I too young to realise… he was dreaming too….

Ilsa's hair blew like silk in the soft Parisian breeze.
Rick looked 10 years younger driving his sportster
down Champs-Elysees. Arc de Triomphe was in the
distance. Young, radiant, Ilsa was the most beautiful
woman in the world. Every man who ever saw her
instantly fell in love with her, myself included. The
German army was only a day from entering Paris,
but that didn't stop Rick from proposing to Ilsa in
La Belle Aurore as Sam played AS TIME GOES BY.
That Ilsa didn't meet Rick in the pounding rain at
the train station as they had planned to take it to
Marseille on their way to Casablanca foreshadowed
the protracted, brutal war the Nazis had already
begun one conquest after another across Europe.
But ****** was not prescient enough to realize
"...a kiss is just a kiss...." and in his Berlin bunker
first swallowed a cyanide capsule then put the muzzle
of his revolver into his mouth and pulled the trigger,
his only constructive act since becoming Chancellor
in 1933.

L'un toujours vit la vie en rose,
Jeunesse qui n'en finit plus,
Seconde enfance moins morose,
Ni vœux, ni regrets superflus.
Ignorant tout flux et reflux,
Ce sage pour qui rien ne bouge
Règne instinctif : tel un phallus.
Mais moi je vois la vie en rouge.
L'autre ratiocine et glose
Sur des modes irrésolus,
Soupesant, pesant chaque chose
De mains gourdes aux lourds calus.
Lui faudrait du temps tant et plus
Pour se risquer hors de son bouge.
Le monde est gris à ce reclus.
Mais moi je vois la vie en rouge.
Lui, cet autre, alentour il ose
Jeter des regards bien voulus,
Mais, sur quoi que son œil se pose,
Il s'exaspère où tu te plus,
Œil des philanthropes joufflus ;
Tout lui semble noir, vierge ou gouge,
Les hommes, vins bus, livres lus.
Mais moi je vois la vie en rouge.
Envoi
Prince et princesse, allez, élus,
En triomphe par la route où je
Trime d'ornières en talus.
Mais moi, je vois la vie en rouge.

We were at a club in Paris called L’Arc. It’s an outdoor club (spring break plus covid safety) that’s underneath the Arc de Triomphe. It’s 10PM and we’re coming from a night tour of the Louvre. The night sky was clear and it was 65°f. I was with my posse of (3) roommates and two guardiennes (provided by my Grandmère) who travel with us at all times.
The man chatting me up was as hot as middle-school but honestly, it was hard to fake an interest in whatever he was saying. Was my ½ interest going to ruin us - this thing we’d shared for 5 minutes? No, he seemed to say, our connection was stronger than that.
Finally, I focused on his WORDS. It was hard because the music was so loud. Hey, this is off-topic but who’s your favorite French band? You don’t HAVE one, do you? No, because they ALL positively felate.
It turns out that he was a tiger - inviting me home for a respectfully quiet banging session - because he lived with his mother. I reacted like any college freshman would at first by thinking I was about to be sick.
Don’t flag me as antisex (If we’re flagging), I like a joystick now and then. They’re cute and like dogs, they’re always glad to see you. But the idea was disgustingly retro - my parent dodging days are over. Besides, our (roommate) agreement for this trip ostensibly forbids random hookups and did I mention our two escorts in tow?
I kept my cool. After all, we had another tray of shooters coming - staying put was clearly the right decision. He took my semi-blank reaction for the rejection it was and disappeared back into the crowd. C'est la vie

Ma douce main de maîtresse et d'amant
Passe et rit sur ta chère chair en fête,
Rit et jouit de ton jouissement.
Pour la servir tu sais bien qu'elle est faite,
Et ton beau corps faut que je le dévête
Pour l'enivrer sans fin d'un art nouveau
Toujours dans la caresse toujours prête.
Je suis pareil à la grande Sappho.
Laisse ma tête errant et s'abîmant
À l'aventure, un peu farouche, en quête
D'ombre et d'odeur et d'un travail charmant
Vers les saveurs de ta gloire secrète.
Laisse rôder l'âme de ton poète
Partout par là, champ ou bois, mont ou vau,
Comme tu veux et si je le souhaite.
Je suis pareil à la grande Sappho.
Je presse alors tout ton corps goulûment,
Toute ta chair contre mon corps d'athlète
Qui se bande et s'amollit par moment,
Heureux du triomphe et de la défaite
En ce conflit du cœur et de la tête.
Pour la stérile étreinte où le cerveau
Vient faire enfin la nature complète
Je suis pareil à la grande Sappho.
Envoi
Prince ou princesse, honnête ou malhonnête,
Qui qu'en grogne et quel que soit son niveau,
Trop su poète ou divin proxénète,
Je suis pareil à la grande Sappho.

The Eiffel Tower stabbed at a midnight
as blue as an old Muddy Waters track.
From a distance, its lace-iron skeleton
looked like a slick and oily spider-web
crowned with a glittering neon diamond.
(My Grandmère's home is across the street from it).
“Do you want to go climb it?” I’d asked Peter (my bf).
“Naah,” he’d replied, “too crowded - what’s next?”
We’ve been tourist-ing all of the big Paris sights.
As we night cruised the Seine, the rivière looked dark
and perilous - a phthalo-green snake slithering north
westerly at six times the speed of the Nile.
We took a guided tour of the Louvre - it’s a crowded
fortress and you can’t see the Mona Lisa up close.
We day-toured the palace at Versailles, with its ghosts
of past grandeurs and revolutionary, royal beheadings.
The Arc de Triomphe is just an unsafe round-about.
As we Uber’d around it, I turned to Peter saying,
“Joke time: What’s more dangerous:
a shark or an American driver in a Paris traffic circle?”

Les transgénique
Prônent
Les goûts confluent
En clique
L'artificiel

Se gonfle
De compliments
Alors, fatigué
Du futur
Le temps s’arrête
Couvrant de baisers

Last night I went to Paris
with my first ever muse
and held her one hand
while we held the Triomphe
in the other
We basked in books
we bought in the rue de la Bûcherie
and gazed at herons in the Seine
We were two tired birds
that perched atop the Eiffel
one lazy night, ready for a kiss
That's when my eyes fluttered open
like the birds in Paris

YOU may be in the museum about cheese, glass art, bicycle history, or history of wooden bags. Not waiting for anything. And I just have time to steal travel brochures, offer a route around town, at the door of the hotel restaurant, after a lazy breakfast I chewed.
You may be among the crowds at the Arc de Triomphe monument, at the end of the Champs-Élysées. A digital screen is spread out, a row of chairs is laid out, and the big flag is flown. An ordinary man, preparing an unusual speech, that evening.
You may be in the departure room of the Frankfurt Airport, with the Arab Emirates airline tickets, disrupting the chaotic time, saying goodbye to the cold German weather, which I had previously tried to greet.
You must be somewhere, making some sort of experiment with distance and time, testing a hypothesis. And you smile, imagine the witty thing you will later conclude. And I do not stop guessing what's possible.

Fable VI, Livre IV.
Or çà, mes amis, essayons
De vous redire en vers tout ce que la chandelle
Disait naguère en prose, en voyant ses rayons
Porter jusqu'à six pas la lumière autour d'elle.
« Ce n'est pas tout-à-fait la clarté du soleil,
Et je n'éclaire pas une sphère aussi grande.
À cela près, je le demande,
xxMon rôle au sien n'est-il pas tout pareil ?
À votre gré, monsieur, à votre goût, madame,
Écrivez, jouez ou lisez,
Tricotez, brodez ou cousez,
À qui veut en user je prodigue ma flamme.
Vous blâmez le soleil de trop tôt se coucher,
De se lever trop **** ; qu'il dorme en paix sous l'onde,
Et l'on ne saura pas s'il est nuit en ce monde,
Pour peu qu'on ait pris place à cette table ronde,
Et que l'on pense à me moucher. »
Cependant le soleil, averti par les heures,
Plus alerte et plus radieux,
Avait abandonné les humides demeures,
Et ses premiers rayons doraient déjà les cieux.
À mesure qu'il perce et dissipe les voiles
Par la nuit étendus sur le monde obscurci,
Voyez-vous pâlir les étoiles ?
Les étoiles, la lune, et la chandelle aussi !
Ainsi, dans mainte académie,
Passez-moi la comparaison,
Le faux esprit s'éclipse auprès de la raison ;
Le bel esprit s'éclipse à côté du génie.
« Mon enfant, » dit l'astre du jour,
En plaignant sa rivale à demi consumée
De perdre sa gloire en fumée,
« Veux-tu de ton triomphe assurer le retour :
Fais tout fermer, porte, fenêtre,
Volets surtout ; fais que la nuit
Règne à jamais dans ce réduit :
La nuit te fait briller ; je la fais disparaître. »

Port Au Prince is also the color of the French Riviera
I remember Napoleon's failure
and how it felt to be banished from human touch
I can still hear the grandeur
I can still see the monument I made for myself
I miss Paris, I miss that kind of love
Port Au Prince is the color of triomphe

Beneath the Eiffel's iron lace,
A tabby cat prowls with feline grace,
Past Arc de Triomphe, she sets her pace,
On moonlit nights down the Champs Élysées.
Prowling around cafés and bustling streets, She slips into wine-soaked conversations, Witnessing love's soft declarations,
While dodging bikes and hurried feet.
Her whiskers twitch at fresh baguettes,
As dawn breaks on the Seine's calm flow, Lounging, watching artists come and go,
From her sun-kissed, with a view parapet.
Notre Dame's gargoyles watch her pass,
Through shadows of restored spires,
In all its reverent wonder, to be admired
As pigeons scatter on morning mass.
Up to Montmartre's charm and winding ways,
She naps peacefully on warm window sills,
As church bells toll from sacred hills,
Lost in the wonders of her Parisian days.

À Madame ***.
La rose humide et vierge encore,
Que l'aube embellit de ses pleurs,
N'est pas plus fraîche que les fleurs
Que votre pinceau fait éclore.
On vante la voix et les chants
De la plaintive Philomèle :
Vos airs ne sont pas moins touchants,
Et vous chantez aussi bien qu'elle.
Par vous est réhabilité
Cet art accusé d'imposture :
Mensonge plein de vérité,
Par vous il devient la nature.
Mais de ce triomphe entre nous
Ne tirez pas trop d'avantage :
La nature a fait mieux que vous,
Bonneuil ; vous êtes son ouvrage.
Écrit en 1790.

We'd been
and stood
by the Arc de Triomphe
had coffee in some street cafe
and Sonya
talked about existentialism
and Sartre and Camus
I sipped my beer
and watched her lips moving
and how she had brought
her blonde hair
into a fine ponytail
and the top
she was wearing
was nice and tight
and kind of hugged her *******
and her eyes
so ice blue
I wanted to drink there
or maybe swim around
one creates ones own truth
she said
there is no objective truth
and I noticed how
she sat
the way her legs
were crossed
and how her foot dangled
as she spoke
sandalled foot
red-painted toenails
or there is also
the leap of faith idea
she went on
and I wondered
if when we got back
to our hotel late evening
and she was still sober
or I
whether we would
have *** and that
***** foreplay
like we did late night
or that time
at midday.

Quand je me sens mourir du poids de ma pensée,
Quand sur moi tout mon sort assemble sa rigueur,
D'un courage inutile affranchie et lassée,
Je me sauve avec toi dans le fond de mon cœur !
Tu grondes ma tristesse, et, triste de mes larmes,
De tes plus doux accents tu me redis les charmes :
J'espère ! ... car ta voix, plus forte que mon sort,
De mes chagrins profonds triomphe sans effort.
Je ne sais ; mais je crois qu'à tes regrets rendue,
Dans ces seuls entretiens tu m'as tout entendue.
Tu ne dis pas : « Ce soir ! » Tu ne dis pas : « Demain ! »
Non, mais tu dis : « Toujours ! » en pleurant sur ma main.
