Samuel Swauger

Listen to the audio version read by Sean Mahoney.

You who hear in disbanded prose
Unbroken by rules of art
A sweet chocolate symphony
Walk a wet city street.
A storefront washed in neon
Reflects in leather eyes.
Windows flash shiny trinkets,
And old folding knives.
Pale hands, red-tipped,
Dive in plastic bins and
Pluck out a rusty watch.
Now it ticks quietly on your wrist
And the wild torrents of its heart
Say "I love you."
