Notre Dame.jpg



This is the way the world ends…
—T.S. Eliot



Seeing Notre Dame in flames
Its collapsing
Roof and spire,


Is watching our old world
Burn down
While Time and Fate conspire.

Concrete and Glass
We’ve made our Babels
And built them even higher,

But sooner or later
An expiry date
Consumes us all with fire.
