Day 25

in Dublin’s Griffin Park Drumcondra

I put around me the orange flower

scarf from Paris that’d been protecting

my melodica I lifted to my blueing lips

and played improvisations contemplating

the seasons going on without Roddy

as ducks slipped down small river rapids

then black Scottie Lester sniffed my fingers
