  Lake Como

  by Nicholas Christopher

  The searchlight of a February moon

  at the end of the street

  bare trees black railing

  an eastern star set like a pearl atop a steeple

  that shadows the doorway

  where the one-armed card shark squats

  shuffling his deck on a milk crate

  waiting for the No. 6 bus to discharge

  the off-duty cop the seamstress

  the drunken mechanic and the clerk on crutches

  who pauses before his building to watch

  the mechanic lose three dollars at blackjack

  and then stiffly ascends the five flights

  to his two rooms on a shaftway

  hanging his coat on a hook

  and sitting down at the table

  on which this morning he placed

  a soup bowl and spoon

  a tin of crackers and the crossword

  puzzle he had been laboring over

  beneath the gaze of his late wife

  her color photograph propped up in a small frame

  a young woman in a boxy dress and felt cap

  waving shyly by the edge of a lake

  where over her shoulder beneath a clear sky

  a sailboat rides the wind

  passengers on the polished deck

  gazing at the glowing mountain peaks

  the cypresses lining the shore

  and the pink palazzi with ancient gardens

  these men and women in white

  who seem to live upon the water

  gliding among themselves oblivious to strife

  and all else that wears a body down

  some sipping from crystal goblets

  others just drinking in the light
