Poem by Andrew Shields

This One's On The House


The gutters are clean,

since the rain ended.

The sky clears at dawn.


There was a fight;

people said things

they will later regret.


Drink espresso

at the all-night café,

ride the Metro home.


Sometime in the night

a kiss, the last.

Don't know it yet.
