behind the rainbow
grove
in autumn colors
nu jazz
hitting my ring against
half filled glasses
champagne bubbles
fizzling
as the raspberry sinks
the aging legend
hits the wrong notes
with a smile
bubbly waitress
he drinks his coffee
black
on the rocks –
clear vodka, no green lime
in his tired shaky hand

Don Maclean’s
Vincent~
sunflowers bloom
the starry night~
fallen drunk on
the pavement,
an acquaintance~
i walk on~
saturday evening~
the pub overflows with
sad inebriated dreams~
avocado
sprinkled with lime –
a sip of white wine
