CHARLEMAGNE
A pearl within the glass.
I see the depths of another
illusion : running savage
time along the edge of a
well-honed knifeblade.
That is Charles Magnus.
-
Charlemagne, to you.
Charles the Great, it's
been said : He eats the
meat with the gristle.
Right to the bone.
-
'They shall call this Europe,
someday.' I heard him say
that, in the shade of the
Brinble tree. Ancient species,
now extinct; felled, all, and
mostly for the craft of
building seafaring ships.
