"Inside A Bottle"

A little homage to miss Emily Dickinson.


If I could Keep, inside a Bottle -
everything about you Then -
I'd take the Sounds, the Smells, the Shivers -
and into a Glass I'd Siphon them.

Each Letter of each crystal Word -
I'd drop inside its narrow Neck -
(not as Sensitive as Mine)
to Preserve the Memory - ever perfect.

If I could Keep, inside a Bottle -
a Gasp - a Sigh - a quiet Laugh -
the Curve of ribs or Angled hips -
I'd pour some out, and give you Half.
