I saw her several times
in the rooms of the Louvre,
hanging around her velvet dress,
she looks at us and everybody says
that it is mystery, man’s mixture,
and of duchess,
now we cannot see her almost any more,
there are thousands of Japanese,
eyes contaminated by the dogma,
Russians who would like to steal her,
never she flies away by plane
for another museum,
she does not know New York or Tokyo,
the poor woman, she bores so much,
but she is so beautiful when she smiles,
do not say it,
but I sometimes I saw her crying,
of her love which left ,
of the paint Cubist,
of the mustache
whom Duchamps added her.
Fortunately Fernand Léger gave her
a bunch of keys,
to be able to escape.
I gave her a rendez vous.

Ah, the keys from Fernand Léger made it possible for you and her to rendezvous . . . Nice work, yann.

Yann, tu l'as décrite comme une vraie personne, comme elle, en effet, est, sous les doigts et la brosse de Leonardo da Vinci! Ce poème sous tes doigts est excellent!

Ohhhh, dear Yann, she has inspired you so beautifully. Her aliveness is delightfully rendered through your pen. I bet her gaze meets yours even across a "wall" of unaware visitors. Give us more of this magic!

Love,
Margherita
