Brewed Nature

A pound of Thoughts; A smidgen of Sarcasm; A quarter-cup of Concern; Two leaves of Bay; One Clove. Steep for days, constantly stirring with a branch of Oak.

Now

by Lydia Daffenberg

Here it is--the poem of the now
Sunset-lit
Spread out, soaked

Colors against closed lids
Bounce balls over words
"Here it is--the poem of the now"

I like this a lot. I have fun re-reading it, watching the specifics--I think it's simple, yet deep.

Also, the no punctuation at the end of the lines was a great move. For some reason, it reminds me of Faulkner. In that he sometimes used form to enhance the feel of something.

"Live in the now, man."
