A Few Moments In Paris

Black wax
Chat
Among thieves
Silver gold
Absinthe drunk
In shame
Galois smoked
In junk shop
Smashed up
Car engines
Motor lights
From 1964
Gin grinning
Hogarth fakes
Bacon sizzles
On a rusted
Smoking
Coal in the scuttle
Stove
Like gran'mother's
At home
But her ashes sit
On the fake
Marble mantle
As ghosts of
Children
Lost at sea
Smile down in oil
School of Degas
Cheap twice
Over my dead body
Get out
Before you
Break something

I love this. I particularly like the lines, " like gran'mothers/ at home/ but her ashes sit/on the fake/ Marble mantle." Thank you for sharing.
