- Nick and Judy and Me
-
- Nick was the River Man,
- with you spinning, the
old stash
- forming clouds, a gypsy
flowing
- and dark brown brows.
- Cross-legged sandals
under print
- and a smoky smell that
drew
- the power of dancing in
waves,
- and I asked if I could
fall
- in love with you then.
-
- Summertime can be an
all-night show
- particularly when the
moon is peeled.
- Don’t Bogart you
said so I didn’t.
- You drew on my lip and
we laughed
- simultaneously, forehead
and noses
- pressed together, quiet
now,
- as he tells us all he
knows,
- about the way his river
flows……
