Le Pouss’Café in autumn
It’s a play on words and a catchy one
The ancient family Pous and a drink
In the heart of old St. Paul, Le Planiol
Its platanes rooted in the source
Flowing underground to the Agly
Forever
The traveler’s salvation
The countryman’s comfort
The exile’s reassurance
That one center holds
Still one autumn dawn
