Nocturne Poem

by Julio Peralta-Paulino

Little Ms Muffet away from the spider

Show me show me show me

No, these deeds must not be thought

Jill and Jack forever Barcelona

Mountains

Newspaper and burning myrrh

Vocal forms of music an ocean apart

With a relation to the true nature

Of all things

The C major chord

The coffee, cold by now

Velvet here a major progression

Cigarettes burning in a relative key

A contract of depravity

Charlie himself nodding out

Sure he had heard that name before

Somewhere in the spell of intimacy

Unbound shade pure sheets

Knowing with a yes in the silly of a turn

But it’s not that, he said at the play

She had a vision

Something about the owl screaming

And the cricket crying
