WINTRY SUNDAY EVENING

 

7:32 PM

on a Sunday

with a wine glass

half empty

half ready to be refilled

 

and very little fire

breathes within me

intensity of my glare

is nullified

 

still there’s time

& there’s energy enough

to fire it

just one more round

 

keep pouring ashes

over the lit candle

until an explosion occurs

intensifying glorious flames

 

yeah, it’s amazing

to behold

a few minutes

to form a poem

out of nothing
