"Drunk at the Beach" [by Ivana Kilibarda]

Drunk at the Beach

One minute you’re sipping
a lite beer in the shallow end.
The next minute your
face is smashed by killer
waves on Far Rockaway.
The kind of waves that take
bikini tops off
killer blondes.
Beg the waves to let you live.
It would be sad
to see you smashed.

-- Ivana Killibarda

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
