it has no more teeth
there are deep sunken eyes
like an eclipse
the sound of the parking area is harsh and the
ambiance of the center stage is dark blue
and when the lights faded
the tables were already
empty

a lady beside me
has gray hairs
she must be older
by twenty years
like the much awaited name of
this May concert

she gives me the reason
for watching
she comes from a far place

it was the talks
the refined rumors of advertisement
that pushed her
towards this presence

i shared what i wish i could not
have said
and praxie need not really
hear this
lest i be a cruel absence

it is because we were once
together in the room with that shoe-throwing
music teacher and we want to recall
the episode of shame

nothing more

he played what i think was eccentric
eclectic and electrical
there was no good vocal
or ponder

we left before midnight
and i think it was enough courtesy
for good taste
