At Marfreley\u2019s Bar in Houston, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a dim lit mural behind the bar,
\ntwo swans amble in front of a plantation:
\nits white house lies against the river, lonely<\/p>\n

for the cover of more trees that the artist
\nleft out, as the rushing river
\nempties into the dark dandelion breeze<\/p>\n

of rewritten histories. And I had wanted to see
\na single woman out, tonight, sitting
\nalone, like me at the bar, looking<\/p>\n

at their life, the plantation, the swans swallowing
\nsmall sips of whatever they find in front
\nof themselves, any parts of a life that might<\/p>\n

make sense, tell me I have done the right things.<\/p>\n
