THE PARTY
Here in the mirror room,
Full of hands and distant voices,
We cower together on the couch,
And over our crystal glasses
We sip each other's little silver
flavored smiles,
And in the bubbles of your eyes
I suddenly see forty years.
We have wandered from our nice agreements
To the panic question-
And will there be tomorrow after
all,
In which to drone of all the things
we've never done,
In which to swallow back all that
gall
Faced with the awful possibility
of God! |
