gestern abend

two guitars
and three friends
went out one night
to play

anansi's skinny legs
danced on seven strings
while fionn's hands plucked six

bourbon and gin
forgotten between
three pairs of bespectacled faces
two old, one young leaning foward,
eyes closed and lips parted to drink up
shining spinning sound from rose warm
wine-filled goblets of comradery,
lament, and bubbling,
giggling mirth

two guitars then to bed
five friends drinking red
shiny black boots tip tap
jean jacket on and off

two friends lead the
third on down the street
head full of sounds
heart tangled down
down, down by her feet

  1. Hello Lucy. I am a Pastor from Mumbai,India. I am glad to stop by your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am also blessed and feel privileged and honoured to get connected with you as well as know you and about your interest in travelling, making new friends and foreign languages. I love getting connected and making friendship with the people of God to be encouraged, strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 39 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you come to Mumbai to work with us during your vacation time. I am sure you will have a life changing experience. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede.
