Ode to a New Black Ballpoint Pen

Ode to a New Black Ballpoint Pen

written by: Eric Robert Nolan

 

Black liquid silk, bleed out
from onyx talon-tip:
like spilled obsidian liquor
indelibly defacing lace,
like a gleaming needle leaves
glissading sable scars of curling script,
let slip the sliding
black racer snakes to trace the page.
