Notes About The Poem

Minimalist: You May Forget But

Riviera Night (my own title)

Your kisses were smoother than

the leather of the seat

on which we sat embracing.

I pray our last night

lingers in your memory too.

Five lines of five words per line.
*Riviera is a luxury model of Buick that stopped being made around 1999.
Dedicated to Quebec-born Guy Loranger, wherever he may be.
