CHRIS TYSH

"You're now part of this trip
they kept me from"

"How silly," she adds,
"a thousand years have passed

and I'd recognize it at once"
With its milky white skin

frosty garlands and angels
cupolas and balustrades

the municipal casino
surrenders its arms

at the stroke of noon
It is not without magic

from Ravished     (a "transcreation" of a 1964 novel by Marguerite Duras, Le Ravissement de Lol. V. Stein. Published in full in Hotel des Archives: A Trilogy (2018).)
