LETTERS FROM BOBOLINK FARM

WE WERE GODS
(An Ode to 100 Fourth Street)


By Brian Hannon


We were gods in Julie’s backyard

Behind her play palace in west Bangor, this heaven a private club

Lounging on the porch in Greek and Roman poses of repose

Gods, every damned one of us

Kobe and Jake ran about, wrestling, testing each other as dogs do

We shouted out arbitrary commands and lorded over the lawn

Sent them there and again like deities playing with our creations

Zeus and Hera, Apollo and Aphrodite, all of us with a little Bacchus to boot

In the hot kiss of the closest star, the lingering warmth of our night embraces

We sunned in silence and ruled this regal little world

No one could see inside our circle, the pleasant secrets swirling there

No one could touch us, the serenity impervious to everything beyond

The earth stood still in those long moments, stretching to minutes, memories

In that backyard, we were gods
