« "Separate Them" [by Thomas Moody] | Main | Veteran's Day (a poem for Mitch Sisskind) [by David Lehman] »

November 11, 2020

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. . .

Armistice Day, November 11, 1918, ended the first world war, leaving everyone relieved and no one the happier. The illusion of peace, and the reality of disillusion, lasted nearly twenty-one years. The United States entered the second global conflict on a day that shall live in infamy, the seventh day of December 1941.

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
