June 12th

Yesterday was another
one. Twenty-one
years—but why keep

a tally? Yesterday
I heard his signature
song come tumbling out

of that Irish pub
on the mall. Part of that romance
on public transportation

series. The only kind I could know
other than this pedestrian love.
Really that’s all there is

for me not quite
half a lifetime later—so many
of the original players long gone.

  1. I like your line breaks, they definitely give the poem depth. I liked the line “I heard his signature…” and then you broke the line and started the next line with “song…” Nice.

      Thanks for your nice comments and for checking out my blog. I do definitely like to play with line breaks and enjambment. Thanks for noticing. I will have to check out your blog too.
