O SWEET REVELER



"O Sweet Reveler," Montana BLACK spray paint, art marker, papercut paint chip samples, YUPO Translucent watercolor paper, and India ink on 4" x 6" watercolor postcard.

One of the cards I sent out as part of my "O Eschaton" series of poems for the 2021 Poetry Postcard Fest.



O SWEET REVELER

Will you sniff me in, O Sweet Reveler,
holy language swallower?

What will be your concert pitch,
upon which scale will you run your fingers?

     (Now that we’ve begun,
     how do we sustain?)

Clever instrument that you are,
the right note you will always emit

a half step ahead of the rest
a pause, a semiquaver, then silence.
