Poem II: Up Through the Down Shelf

   Published Date: October 24, 2017

One day I will be gone.

But my words

And the sentiments they provoke

Will remain

I shall perdure.

Do not doubt

That there is some little corner

Of that World-Soul

That is forever Wallace…

I thought talking about the alcohol shelf

Would be part of a general move upwards.

But I only felt afraid.

Why is this?

This should be a happy time.

This should be my redemption

From sobriety.

Perhaps it was the chill air.

I have closed my windows.

No more swirling gusts of winter.

I am resolved…

Or in due course, I shall, no doubt,

Be thus.
