Verse's Teeth I

Verse's Teeth I

A Poem by T. N. Hodges
"

Draft i

"
In my coffee cradle
built for one.
Surrounded by empty spirit vessels-
The mist is pulling back
and the frost thaws in 
a lapse of loss.

Every bourbon soaked sunrise
rings bereavement for
the sullen specter.
I remember,
when his eyes 
matured into mine.

The realization;
To remove the sequence chains
means to never fight their grip.
To miss their indention, 
is to extract the verse's teeth;
the idiom is adrift,
transposed for
a thought.
For retrospection.
For cackling ivories.
