As I \u00a0sit under<\/p>\n
Chihuily Sky<\/p>\n
Reflections from<\/p>\n
the lighting<\/p>\n
sculpted another<\/p>\n
oceanic painting<\/p>\n
that tangoed above<\/p>\n
lettered men<\/p>\n
Glass columns<\/p>\n
framed in<\/p>\n
aluminum<\/p>\n
guarded the<\/p>\n
kitchen dancing<\/p>\n
silverware<\/p>\n
castenetas doing a<\/p>\n
stilleto waltz<\/p>\n
trance across the<\/p>\n
white table cloth<\/p>\n
And I, the invisble<\/p>\n
woman sit<\/p>\n
and people pass by<\/p>\n
and I am furniture<\/p>\n
30’s music bounce<\/p>\n
along the walls<\/p>\n
fantastic<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s Friday and cold<\/p>\n
I cried too many<\/p>\n
times this week<\/p>\n
Saying I’m sorry<\/p>\n
Being told I’m sorry<\/p>\n
I<\/p>\n
look<\/p>\n
I<\/p>\n
write<\/p>\n
poor<\/p>\n
pour<\/p>\n
Under Chihuily<\/p>\n
Skies<\/p>\n
A white girl stood<\/p>\n
in front of me<\/p>\n
and said sorry<\/p>\n
The whole week<\/p>\n
In a split second<\/p>\n
fell like an anvil<\/p>\n
on<\/p>\n
my<\/p>\n
head<\/p>\n
I was sorry<\/p>\n
not<\/p>\n
Oh, so sorry<\/p>\n
I left quickly<\/p>\n
enforce trouble had<\/p>\n
a holiday<\/p>\n
for sitting on a<\/p>\n
bench under<\/p>\n
Chihuily sky<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I fought back the tears<\/p>\n
in my special place<\/p>\n
of beauty<\/p>\n
Never to return<\/p>\n
writing poems<\/p>\n
to an imaginary lover<\/p>\n
Trying not to do<\/p>\n
something stupid<\/p>\n
and<\/p>\n
chose<\/p>\n
life<\/p>\n
Thinking of your<\/p>\n
beautiful Chihily<\/p>\n
eyes<\/p>\n
and my new<\/p>\n
thriftstore coat<\/p>\n
