Two Poems (by Mitch Sisskind)

Sam Feldman

When Napoleon wanted a woman he said

Bring me a woman and they brought him one,

Poof poof no nonsense and the whole thing

Was over in half an hour. Yet Napoleon's

Relationship with Josephine was extremely

Complicated not to say convoluted which

To a somewhat lesser extent was also true

Of his marriage to Marie-Louise of Austria.

It shows the difficulty of comprehending

The five foot five inch Napoleon who was

Responsible for the deaths of approximately

Four million people between 1796 and 1815.

Now what about Sam Feldman who owns

Same Day Cleaners? Or what about me?

Napoleon's First Letter to Josephine:

A Modern Translation

December 1795

Hey babe 9 a.m. and I haven't

Slept all night not one wink!

I know you sleep till noon

So I'll see you in three hours

Clock is ticking hahaha!

How you looked last night

Babe I keep thinking of it

Which gets me turned on

All over again weird weird

I can't rest 'cause quaffing

The flames from your lips

Has made me really horny!

Thanks a lot mio dolce amor!

I imagine terrifying things!

"Napoleon who was responsible for the deaths of approximately
Four million people between 1796 and 1815."

Now Putin + NATO repeating the history...
Y- chromosome never change their unhuman genes...
Mothers bring sons to be killed ...
We are watching how to end unjust, unfair stories...

My stanza which i repeat with tears
With mother who lost their sons... their dears...

'Mothers are Mothers...Where ever they are
Their tears will never dry even after they die...'
