Le Bateau Lavoir
The frogs come home
to roost.
Every night,
They crawl up
the rickety stairs
to the howling of the wind
outside.
Upturned collars
obscure angular faces.
Beady,
Drunken eyes peer
at blank canvases,
As if to will their creations
to life.
A bottle of port
is shared between them,
And sometimes,
A model or two.
