Overread at Table 3: Poem of the Day: Houston, 2015


A Memory of Houston, Summer 2015

 

We were

searching for stars

on a downtown street

lit by spattered neon

in the rain,

on a Saturday night

when the symphony people

poured onto the sidewalk

like milk

from an overturned

carton,

and in the

stone gazebo

that capped

the underground

carpark

a young man played

a saxophone

while stomping

a bass drum with one

foot.
