Notes About The Poem

Elixir Vitae

cow bells ring 
through verdant hills 
rolling up to cuddle  
towering gray cliffs
spraying white foam 
intoxicating Alps
where Frankenstein
concocted Elixir Vitae
and birthed a monster
rich red wine 
and a pot of fondue
on a cafe terrace 
jagged tip 
of the top of Europe peeking 
through the fluff hugging
its head and shoulders
stunning monster
the Alps
Elixer Vitae for an
old soul
