Skyglow
At night
low, snow-heavy clouds
glow with city light,
colors diffused
into a beautiful haze
like a chalk drawing
I’ve rubbed out,
a figure study, a nude —
the lines of his torso
as he leaned forward in the chair,
his shoulders, one arm
draped over his knee,
eyes fixed on the floor —
difficult to erase
from the fine grain
of the paper
without leaving behind
a trace of that blush.
Glass: A Journal of Poetry is published monthly by Glass Poetry Press.
