Bottle o' Beer
By Bradley Jelfs

A work toughened hand
just grasped
another metallic crowned
twist top
screwing life
and a gasp of air
to the lovely liquid
held there and sighted with glassy eyes
where a cool mist
releases from the rim.
From a swayed angle poured out
along the conical neck
diving sparkling golden
remembering brown tinted
origins
its form of past
and rising replenished
by new bubbles ascending
to surface cream
dreamy drip clouds.
