FOR a MOMENT

"For a Moment," India ink on 4" x 6" watercolor postcard. One of the cards I sent out for the 2020 August Poetry Postcard Festival.

FOR a MOMENT

I remember Rilke’s laughter
in the backyard

intoxicated on absinthe
or the words that Esmé spoke

syncopated rhythms of jazz
echoing the flames of the firepit

both disrupted for a measure
or three

then all was black,
spectral, gone.
