absinthe makes anonymous

the green hour

ekphrastic for Braque’s 1911 ‘Glass of Absinthe’

 

you can guess points of origin

see the pointy end of it

 

I mean where this leads

a glassly dark

cross eyes

 

an end is a point in a way

 

you’ll recognize this street

a swagger

 

wormwood, hyssop and mellisa

 

hard to grasp

but grew on a tree

 

net them or else the birds

will get them

 

I’ll wrestle you for it

wager that

down the hatch

we must prop up the leaning bar

 

there might be a law against it

 

to each other!

George et Pablo

semblables, mon frère

 

drink this

or don’t

they won’t know who we were
