After the Carriage Returns to a Pumpkin
By Annmarie Lockhart
Response

at the peak of the party
at half-past midnight
it’s easy to forget
that morning comes
moaning in with the
slam of a door
and the dripping
puddle from a side-
spilled bottle
and the still-
sharp sting of
words heard
between echoed
refracted in wine

revelry looks
unromantic
at street level
in sunrise tatters
