The Innisfree Poetry Journal www.innisfreepoetry.org by Gregory Luce IMPROVISATION ON A LINE FROM WELDON KEES For Naomi If this room is our world, then let that other world be damned. This faint light on your face is all I need to live by, your face the only book I need to read. Let day be damned, and daylight that stings the eyes, illuminates the cracks and clutter, and silences the crickets that rasp a lullaby sweeter than the morning birds’ orisons.
