Soluble Aspirin As Revelation Poem by (Dr) Kevin Kiely

Outside—
human sized trees
phantasmagoric figures
snowcapped
as if lurching through the slant blizzard

limbs and wands raised, half-mantled, gleaming
on the topside of branches

sky: an ocean of frozen silver
hedges & bushes bobbed in snowfur

avians dawn patrol, flit, fly, gone
to the unheard music
of frostlike sugar, sweet and looking salty

this toothache awaits the transcendent
blizzard in water with effusion of jet engines

across a rainy sky, the nibbled half-moon tablet
through falling snowflakes
rising in a tidal wave

oscillating out of orbit inside the glass tumbler
scintillating distant stars to ease the pain
