After the Concert
Good Friends:
A 12 Verse Renga
After the Concert
After the concert
The full moon in the clear sky
And the autumn wind
Though it is late in the night
The musicians are hungry
Crowds are gathering
For the restaurant opening
And the five-star chef
All alone in the alley
Asleep in the packing crate
The shelter is full
Ice grips the streets and sidewalks
She buys a new scarf
Harsh static from the cellphone
Leaves a question in the heart
Patiently he says,
"I have told you many times
How much I love you."
A dozen wine red roses
In an antique crystal vase
The lengthening days
Bring the first warm afternoon
After months of cold
"Why don't you go out and play?"
(Mom wants some time by herself.)
In the summer heat
Dodgeball in the public park
And the radio
"I think they grow up too fast,"
Says the soldier with one leg
