Nicole Taylor - One Poem

At Paulann’s Party

 

Large b/w of Janis Joplin

in entry.

 

In small office -

photos with Stafford.

 

framed writings of

well-known locals,

framed trees through windows,

introducing passing clouds as

a phrase or poem begins.

 

Eleanor reads “Green November”

in wet February

 

Lois reads “Pigeons”

to old, young birds.

 

A few others read

Host Paulann invites us to

Sample something

as in Turkish tradition.

 

Many delicious desserts –

Tiramisu,

Petit fours,

Pudding cups, …

 

Admiring similar European furniture,

cabinets, glass,

to my family.

 

Admiring colorful Eastern art,

nudes, stippled hands

 

feeling powers

in these words,

in these crowds.
