The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Ether

I'm being consumed by the ether
dispersed into particles in space
spread thinly through the universe
and dissolved in insignificance.

I knew a man who took ether
inhaling it in huge gulps but staying
conscious yet in ecstacy unbound -
they say it murders brain cells.


Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 11.27.24
Prompt: I’m being consumed by the ether.
