Invocation
Come Inspiration,
sweet as two beautiful hookers
in a dream.
Don't go girls --
even if you don't know a thing
about poetry,
at least help me decide
what to wear

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
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
a poetry beacon in the language wilderness
all happiness to elaine equi on this her day
