It goes without saying that to close the ceremony he sang the "addio alla vita" from Tosca.
-Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Came out from between the folds -
the right waves hitting the arches.
The noises everyone wanted to make
but couldn't
so their throats tightened instead.
Bitter lemonfaced, everything inside
pulling tighter
to make it through the bottle hole
of a bad thing.
Outside, the sun a color
that no one had ever seen before.
