Horowitz In New York, Tim Bellows

Bryant Literary Review

Precise blocks of keys.

He brushes them

and in the ear's inside chamber,

we hear. His fingers white as a baby. Seems the notes

beam across cold deserts-

and hidden sprigs of grass

think to nose their ways

upward, harboring a thin sense

of yellow warmth despite

when she stumbles and falls on my head, which is stuffed beneath a

pillow. "I'll never sleep again," I groan.

That's me in Maui, underneath a tire-sized hat,
