Conjure
She thought maybe if she drank enough red
Wore enough white
She could conjure him up
Like a dream or a spell or a bass line
He'd come strolling through the den under the loft
Whistling softly to his dog
Perhaps if she really wanted hard enough
Like a jazz tune he might
Come waltzing in
Turning circles around the space and the time and the sentiment where they had once let things go
Yes, she was damn near certain
she could manifest his presence
Draw him in like a cool breath
They would take up where they had left off
If she let herself go just enough...
