The Raveness

 
'The truth under Paris bridges'-
Written September 2012/The sad events surrounding Marie Antoinette's son.
 

He escaped under the bridges of Paris:-

And inside a jar beat the heart of Chou d’amour.

Once a dissection turned expedition to Le Maison.

 

Fancy him mad?

This ripper with his Petit-Coeur;

Of royal blood that day smuggled in a handkerchief.

 

A scalpel to flesh in temple prison.

Now with him it traverses;

Paris bridges, Libraries, churches and on to Le Maison.

 

This madman and his madness to him; unknown.

Whilst the dying drum weeps in its vitreous home.

 

In autopsy swindled from the evermore doomed boy,

Identified by a strand of hair in a scientist joy.

 

An investigation of experimentation and of chance,

To be the son of the trialled then headless;

'L’Autre chienne'.
