« Ben Jonson Proposes a Toast to Stacey Lehman on Her Birthday | Main | Three Poems by Sean Singer from "Today in the Taxi" »
"So laugh and sing, make love the thing, / Be happy while you may. / There's always one, beneath the sun / Who's bound to make you feel that way. / The moon is shining, and that's a good sign, / Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine. / Remember, darling, we won't see it shine / A hundred years from today." [Song: "A Hundred Years from Today"; photo credit: Star Black (c) 2011]

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
