Little Tippler
—after “I Will Sing Thy Name”
and Emily Dickinson’s “I taste a liquor never brewed”
Drunk and swaying to Thy Name
Lifted above the world of praise and blame.
Little Tippler leaning against a sunbeam
Drunk and singing, singing, singing Thy Name.
Thy joyful name, Om, Guru, Om—
Thy holy name, Om, Guru, Om.
Drunk on the wine never brewed
Little Tippler leaning against a sunbeam.
