Séance at Tennis

   by Dana Goodyear

   I play with an old boyfriend, to tease you out.

   In white shorts that you've never seen before.

   You storm-wind, panic in the tree.

   Rattling like the genius

   like the jealous man.

   Making it impossible to hit.

   So nothing clears the net.

   An inside joke, my comingback love:

   He can't return, but you can?

   After an hour, the court is swept, and reassumes

   the waiting face of the bereft. But you-

   the sky turns blue with your held breath.
