Hush Now
I'll give you something
soft
in this hard life,
a place away,
a flickering shadow
behind the jukebox,
a corner table,
something trapped about
high heels and ties?
I believe in slipping off,
the right toes pointing,
or the perfectly loose tie,
a couple of
alley dirty martinis,
a record spinning
Billie Holiday.
