For Emily, 2008

We
spent the last day of the year in tangle-town
eating the world bitter,
spitting out the pips.
All the brides of France
tore midnight into strips,
draped us in the sprawl of cities.
We
spent the whole night blind.
And sometime before the new year began,
we got in the car
shut the doors
drove away.
