in the party room,
there are waiters making
wontons in one booth,
waiters folding napkins
into perfect triangles
in another, and you
alone in the

flowers out of the
morning’s turnips
,
as if setting them
free could also
release you

between now and

worthy
of our weekend

as we walk home,
stuffed
and discovering
a whole new

the glass was overflowing
with kisses, set stranded
in the center
of a crowded bistro,
so lonely, still so
full of promises

i passed Pamplona the other

i passed Pamplona the other
night on the way to Curry Hill.
you weren’t in, and in fact, the

arms of a giant man
heavy with loss
