by Robin Chapman The Half Glass                     -for Will Some see it half empty, some half full. This one you bring to me Is half of the glass of beer we agreed to share, Poured into glasses the cheerful waitress has sized to fit. Our two half-glasses I see have become, Like this late life with you, not a test of temperament But the doubled gift Of a full glass for each. -From Love and Lust Anthology, Parallel Press (2011) -Originally appeared in BabelFruit (2009)
