For your enjoyment: “Little Night Music” by Charles Simic
This poem is from The Voice at 3:00 A.M.: Selected Late and New Poems, and I gotta say beforehand that I love Charles Simic. I didn’t realize before I bought his newest selected and new that I actually already owned the majority of the books these poems are collected from, but it was definitely still worth it. Here’s a really cool poem from the “new” section of the book.
“Little Night Music”
by Charles Simic
Of neighbors’ voices and dishes
Being cleared away
On long summer evenings
With the windows open
As we sat on the back stairs,
Smoking and sipping beer.
The memory of that moment,
So sweet at first,
The two of us chatting away,
Till the stars made us quiet.
We drew close
And held fast to each other
As if in sudden danger.
That one time, I didn’t recognize
Your voice, or dare turn
To look at your face
As you spoke of us being born
With so little apparent cause.
I could think of nothing to say.
The music over, the night cold.
I just love how the last stanza turns the image for you to see another facet of it. Another perspective in the light of slightly different nostalgic circumstances. And the polarity of the emotions radiating from the two takes on the same little evening (through (perhaps subconscious) selective memory, though it could even be an entirely separate occasion) makes the second all that more tragic. Makes me want to say 
haha. Anyway, here’s a pretty good review of this book by Brad Luen.
