Poseidon, Stand Aside

The guy drinking wine alone tonight

called the guy drinking rum alone tonight

out of concern for the latter

over the honeymoon you're on


and from the stoop of a building

where you lived for five years

we celebrated together


in what was 

the most beautiful moment

since these rummy eyes

first saw you in a bar

not enough years ago.


We caught your bouquet

and used it to garnish

our cocktails.


Safe travels.

Break a leg.

Hallelujah.
