Emblems of the Day

gerrylegister

A triple of drink to wet the lips, tongue, and throat

Trembling at length to the stoat’s note.

With liquid gems here the dawn of sunrise appears

Plant its fiery star with each drop ignites.

The torch that carries the rain,

Into the tense standoff pain.

One spark is enough to trigger

All the touchy fuse of fire.

March on the brow by ranks of flame,

Anger enters the parched restrain.

Emblems, tending the weary sapped day,

Fence in by a wire barbed way.

Tapers of grim and grind

Every day finds a prime battle in the mind.
