My poetic entry

[Chris Corrigan]

Here is my entry to the contest.  Where are the others?

WHAT IS ON THE TABLE

A vase that Vivienne left us
Stuffed with dried lavender from the summer

A wine bottle, green with emptiness
Its spirit having been drained

A half empty tea cup
Whose contents have filled me with insomnia

And delirious contemplation
Of a school of rice cake crumbs

That have spread across the stained pine
Like a creeping army of sadness

In search of their temporary state of communion
Mourning their rediscovered agency
