RUIN
The failed ruin of a house
A single stone, which was
Re-entombed in the living room
After how many screams
The failed ruin of the living room
Where the defunct family was discussed
The Grandparent's sermon of excuses
For the extinguished branch of the family
And the dead cousin of St. Anne
Searches for her wits on a donkey
Galloping through an oat field
Resembling which feigned disease
Jean-Pierre Duprey (1930-1959)
