To honor five years as poet-in-residence for Art All Night H street:
*Italicized lines from Charise Hoge’s poetry readings at Art All Night H StreetBard of the Streetcar
We are transported. Up and down H Street, Washington, DC.
It’s 8:00 pm. The last Saturday of September.
We are transported. Up and down
the Rue de Seine. It could be broad daylight.
On an old shale logging road.
Toward the lions of the New York Public Library.
And here are two sling-back chairs, one for you
… be my companion.
It’s “Art All Night.” Poetry on the streetcar.
A room with a courtyard and easy transport.
Up and down H Street.
Circling the ancestors’ wholly baked faith
… over the streets past the cars out of the city to the sea.
