TWO HIGHBALLS

two highballs
and dinner
at the asylum’s
whiskey bar
ripping daisies
on the linoleum
the night nurse says
she loves me
while autumn
carves into my youth
i will save
a song for you
for whom i once
scuttled my ships
refresh my glass
there’s no applause
the bar is empty
the band
forgot the music

Valencia, 27/06/2026, Francisco Bravo Cabrera

    Love the painting of the highball glass as well as the poem.

      Thank you so much Pat! Actually I do not know if that was a real highball or just a glass of whiskey…

    The rhythm really tightens to a focus in those last six lines — nicely done!
