BG 188 – Blackout Poem

desperately keen
remembering
a sudden
penetrating look
his face going hot
for a moment
desperately keen
remembering
a sudden
penetrating look
his face going hot
for a moment
She wore
water droplets
on
her eyebrows
and
she spoke of
interest in life
realized
at least
in the pur-
suance of
satisfaction
The noise of
better places to go
her staying out all night
calm down
no reason to
be reasonable
She was
a typical
beauty
fabulous
her lips were
generous
But…
said to him
About that night, about us
let’s not talk about it
It’s over
He thought
I can’t hear a thing
