The Laboring of a Poem

Laboring a poem

A sudden rain of a lightening,
a drifting into the space of
everything and nothingness,

the way glass glazes like etched wind
across meadows,

waking with small sips of champagne
and a single verse swirling on my tongue
in yellow and ice.

  1. nice…that opening stanza is so ethereal….the everything and nothing…nice…the champagne on the tongue in the end..and tasting its colors…ha…cool that…

  2. “A sudden rain of a lightening,
    a drifting into the space of
    everything and nothingness,”
