Chagallian Love Story Someone is trapezing through a tricolor sky. Songs coalesce in air, the moon serendipitous, huge. Windowpane colours at exhalations of poet/painter. Carnival city sleeps, somnambulant heart awakes. A cat with a wistful face sits agape at the spectacle of flight. Flowers as always, a tapestry, a talisman, signifying the romantic fool. While in the background (look closely) horizontally struck - a man and a woman have fallen in love; Oh Paris! Oh world! Oh wonder! art imitating life, a thousand times over. And the whole world conspires to make it all true. Siobhán Mc Laughlin Siobhán is a poet from Co. Donegal in Ireland and has been published several times in The Ekphrastic Review. Her poems have been published in The Honest Ulsterman, Drawn to the Light Press, The Poetry Village, The Trouvaille Review, Bealtaine Magazine and Quince as well as others.
