SINGLE MALT #poetry by jay

man holding whiskey glass
Single malt/ single file
one mash/ one glass

all you are/ wooden
laughing at your stillness

loving your
silk and ash

sipping on your
sweet sass

you say—
life is a blast
 
then bottle it up 
slow and steady 
studying—

the
tasting notes

long/ fast/ smooth/ strong
no need to linger/ fingering
round and round


on the tip of your tongue.
