"MISTAKES ON PURPOSE" Did you know the shadows / played the part of sadness / in the decade before we met? // And the trees swooned / slow like a secret / between old lovers. // You got better with age / was the mood I was in / that afternoon on the Hudson. // Maybe an emptiness / made out of October / I couldn’t apologize for // or that long drive / into the middle of the state / where all the flags hung like fire. // I remember standing in a room / the color of dropped pennies / holding hands with strangers in masks. // Midnight came and went. / We stood still, together, / part darkness, part sky.
