Star Eyes

by Wayne Wolfson
November 23, 2008

Occupying the neighboring stools, people come and go; the tide of humanity gone thirsty. Cocktail umbrellas litter the bar lying to all of her good fortune. Cheap tobacco, blues, the girl I need you to be. She is a sphinx two drinks from leaving home. I suck in air trough my teeth to further ...

Rehearsing Lullabies

by Wayne Wolfson
September 21, 2008

For CaracolI am by the fountain where we used to meet, rehearsing lullabies. The man I could have been stares up at me from the surface. His head, surrounded by the gem like halo of the street's neon offering. Ah baby, I am sick again, get him to carry me ...

Ou Es Tu Mon Amour

by Wayne Wolfson
August 30, 2008

I alone, to once again see the whole city wet and painted blue. The exact shade, matching the color of her favorite dress. The cool blues of that night with her eyes, which I made weep gems under the cafe neon. The rain perfumes the concrete, one more time once. Walking the streets ...

Rue Linnei

by Wayne Wolfson
July 26, 2008

It is a hot day, the specifics I don't know, never having mastered the metric conversion. The heat makes everyone crazy dumb. It is only after the sun goes down that some will attempt to recreate the day's madness with drinks and different positions. Christina does not cover up as she hangs some ...

Sattamassagana For Rosie

by Wayne Wolfson
May 17, 2008

Grief, desire, memory. When utilized properly, they can serve to provide a sort of forward motion. Even if only down the street for that last drink of the evening. From somewhere nearby can be heard the faint tinkling of a piano as it has a conversation with itself. What do I have, what do ...

Jazz Trick

by Wayne Wolfson
February 24, 2008

The entire second set had been one of indifference on the part of both band and audience. Six songs and it was the only real collaboration which had gone on. It was all over. I did not feel like going home, but despite being payday I had no money, settling up my tab as to prevent ...

Valentina's Ghost

by Wayne Wolfson
February 23, 2008

I got a visit from a dead friend the other day, crawling out from in between the pages of a found notebook. I now sit here thinking, which is funny. All the time she had tried just a little too hard to get lost in thought and I would mock her for it. Every ...

La Notte

by Wayne Wolfson
January 6, 2008

You left. I am going back.Sundown, the darkness will allow us to think of what we have done.The dimmed windows of stores. Heaven offered up through the motionless shadows of luxury. The dimmed windows, the dead smile of an enemy. My sweetheart's stare. Luxury ill afforded. I am ...

Bright Flares

by Suzanne Dennison
November 25, 2007

BRIGHT FLARES Chasing the same dream for decadesCan't dim the glow we shared:It was transferred into musicAnd I sense you in those soundsFlowing thru the atmosphere. The glory in shared passionsMade pure, ring clearAs I listen to the ...
