| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 01/30/08 at 09:18 PM The multi-layeredness of this poem mirrors it's delicious, "intoxicating" topic... It can be taken literally or metaphorically in many ways... which gives it a richness, I enjoy luxuriating in, and peeling... along with it. The "illegal moonshine" and "poppers" give this a floating euphoric level, and the subtle "curl__Petals__like cherry stems" luscious. Which leads one to the original form... which leads the eye in all directions of reading. |
