New Year

can you feel it:

Crisp and crackling in air

reach out

gather it

filling arms,

lift it to

aching, dry mouth

swallow it down!

teeth ache

sliding down dry throat

fizzing and popping to stomach

out to fingertips

fuzzing buzzing

like tiny fireworks

sparks sending

beams out

ends of hair

eyes gleam

tongue twitches

thirst slaked

oh, yes, yes,

2021!
