Rhyme Scheme: A BBCADEEFAGHIJGAKLMNO PQRBSBATUEBVRWXVY

For FlacoA
-
A coolerB
head of lettuce prevailed but when the actorB
asked his question and pausedC
for us to watch him pause and thinkA
inside the pause I almost answeredD
as if we were in a bar just the two of usE
and a balcony and spotlight The two of usE
and programs and makeup and a sofaF
from the director s living room and the blackA
womb agora s ance of theater inviting us to feelG
together alone I recall I don t recallH
the question but its scope on his faceI
was immense as if he were the Milky WayJ
asking am I pretty am I here for sure for realG
for long and my breath was the quiet yessingA
of tall grass against the shoulders of a catK
stalking the night I actually opened my mouthL
before I actually thought you will be stonedM
and not in the good way not with stonesN
of tongues stones of fingers against my foreheadO
but the play was messy and tangible and fullP
of the etceteras I am full of and whyQ
wouldn t I want to talk with that is a questionR
the poem is asking you to answer whereverB
you are without me is the problemS
theater solves since we sit togetherB
in the dark with the dark because the darkA
deserves a face a soliloquy a lover a bowT
at the end When I always wonder if the playersU
regret that the lights come up and they see usE
as we are seeing them as they wereB
what a weird mirror that is showing one sideV
sudden appreciation and the resumptionR
of loose ends the other the vastW
and devotional possibilities of being kidnappedX
by a dream and which side is which sideV
are you onY
