The stop and start and bend
each corrosive twilight
People in this place
are inclined to forgive:
Skulls from stray dogs and
foxes unearthed
make for good ashtrays and
catchy conversation
on the bars and table tops
Where people drink ‘til their eyes
roll back in their skull.
My father, who liked his pint
or three used to remark
about the beauty in the upward climb
on the road back to my house
after an evening.
Gone now, I drive it alone—
The low mountain gazing down
brownish in the street lamps
seems abandoned
to the hawkish winter.
