Diana Rosen


Gossamer Memory


Abandoning my storybook
tall, dark and handsome date,
I slink into the host's California blue pool,
get nudged into conversation

as if in mid-sentence
with a lame-legged nearly faceless man

whose every word
reveals
attaches
pulls
words that even now

haunt,

echo,

chime:

almost.
