CEZANNE POSTCARD


All through the Occupation
sister kept your postcard
while others bought and sold
you in an auctions' backyard

Others harassed for money
and betrayed you in francs
in Paris and in the country
at war,no mercy or thanks,

as the Frankish tanks left
we embraced once more
few were embarrassed
what took place before,

Spring at Cannes '44
finding the Cezanne card
at an old bookstore
sister was no more.
