to honor a lovely lady whom i went out on my first date with
22 years ago this very day:
pittsburgh like a
postcard
full of wine
and thai food
i ask you
what you’d like to do next
and you tell me
whatever
as long as it doesn’t involve
you going one way
and me going the other
that instant
when i knew loving you
would be a simple game of genius
played out in the first fall snow
that framed pittsburgh like a postcard.
--John Grochalski
a version of this poem appears in the anthology
Unconditional Surrender: An Anthology of Love Poems
on Low Ghost Press....which you can also purchase right HERE
