27 Mar: "Kettle to Pot" by Simone White

Kettle to Pot

Related Poem Content Details

Unable to pour boiling water
over an edge from kettle to pot
water boils from kettle to neti pot
still boils from kettle to cup running over
boil pool steam pool leak pool

little cooling pot over the boiled edge
of boil pooled salt vapors
sulfurous stank boil heal dangled over
the boiled edge of burnt earth
cooling salt pool nettle stung
black clotted blood at the bottom
of the sink

  1. Sounds cool, but too much to follow or make sense out of for me.

    1. I'm still lost. What's with the black clotted blood? Is this some old medical procedure?
