in this empty chair, i slip

by Peter Hsu

in this empty chair, i slip
beneath the skin of the evening
to stumble blindly through time
and rouse dying memories
with the intoxicated cadence of my heels,

a drunken tattoo piercing the impermanent air,
marring the dark curve of the moon
(the luminous line of your back
is a cursive whisper
scrawled across the face of the night)
