The Kill ...

I'm reading The Kill - 

Zola is the man for these times -

I remember climbing a glass tower -

There was a roof garden -

Exquisite jazz -

Silk suits walking -

A rain fell -

I was unable to feel or see it -

Aristide was surely there -

He'd changed his name once more -

He and his brother held sway over this city -

They haunted its pristine canyons -

Instead of twenty franc pieces, fifty pound notes fell from the sky -
