I'm glad that this is in Miscellaneous Poetry because I have a lot of praise and nothing to workshop!

This is such a wonderful poem, and I loved listening to the audio version while reading along. (The reader has such a pretty voice too.)

Thanks for sharing this!

Yeah, just had to add this to your New York Odyssey thread.
J. Talessa was gracious enough to record the damn thing. (I'm lousy at reading poems.)

J. Talessa is a wonderful poet in her own right:

Hourglass Tap     - J. Talessa

I can't fall asleep
to the sound of a dripping faucet
leaking the life's blood of Earth
into my bathroom sink-
drip by drip
I hear droplet lives
slipping down the drain
with every hour
every minute
every drip
of the faucet.
