On Swan Street, night leans in close,
cups clink like quiet punctuation.
Striped cotton, dark curls, a half-finished sentence
held between fork and thought.
Faces tilt toward one another,
words moving faster than the traffic glow.
Around them, the city keeps eating and talking,
while this small table holds
the whole weight of the evening.

Behind the bar on Swan Street,
he pours silence as carefully as gin,
bottles lining the wall like held breaths.
Fruit waits, knives sleep,
and the night leans in
listening for what will be said next.

On Swan Street, night loosens its tie
glasses clink, voices lean close to light,
men bend over bowls and small talk,
while footsteps pass like brief commas.
The city breathes between tables,
and dinner lingers longer than the hour.
