Lightning In A Bottle Poem by Barry Middleton

Lightning In A Bottle



a bell jar
an ant farm
lightning in a bottle

a blue sky heaven
highways to nowhere
pain and joy

death is not easy
release me
quench my thirst

beneath a frail dome
inhumanity grins
with bloody fang

bring final damnation
extermination
no more electric evil
