my soul dipped in preservatives by Cymbre Dolphaylooking for the cranberry sauce
in an overly stocked pantry
x-ray vision would have
so many household uses
it's like I'm searching for the soul
I placed in a can
in another time and place
and I can't recall where it rests 02/23/2003 Author's Note: And can we all say 'I will not write poetry while hungry anymore?'

Posted by Glenn Currier on 03/10/03 at 04:00 PM I really like the way the poem/poet finds spiritual meaning in the everyday. I relate to the overstocked pantry AND not being able to recall where the soul rests. Beautiful. I like this one. |
