« It Was 50 Years Ago Today [by Lewis Saul] | Main | Wednesdays with Denise »
after fifty-nine years
he saw
the woman
with two faces
there was no such thing
as an ex-Catholic
or an ex-Spaniard
living in France
first Paris with Max
then back to Madrid
an old guitarist
what can you do
with blue, blindness
and the female nude
with two faces

Francoise, Jacqueline
I the harlequin and the minotaur
you the women in the mirror

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
