lyrics

At twenty years old,
A renaissance birthed by poetry and colligate confessions
Your baritone droned in 4/4 time
Painting verse after verse
Like a landscape or a wake

Remember when I recited Lowell from memory?
Our professor’s eyes temporarily swallowed by faulty cataracts
As I almost blatantly read “Water”
Word by word from the book

And although every last person in class knew,
Not a soul breathed a word to her

I think it was almost too absurd to mention out loud
