This one’s for Carole…
A vast sigh of relief
breathes
across Europe,
across the plains of western democracy,
sets the hope dancing.
Young face,
Burning eyes,
Bit short,
No matter.
Smooth skin,
Jut of jaw
Raised flag
En marche!
Deja vu.
Will this one too,
rebuild,
reboot,
unite Europe under his flag?
Or will they give him the Elba?
