Edward Ibeh Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Date written: 03/02/2026

Transcendence

    The dog's paw clawing on the linoleum, 
   Restless pacing while the kettle starts to 
     Activate steam. No, it's not a choir of a
     Nimbus of gold, just the unmistakable,  
  Sudden realization that the sink is leaking 
      Cold tap water on a Monday morning -
           Everything is heavy, until it isn't 
      Nobody told him that climbing out of 
       Despair felt like a wet, damp blanket 
        Eventually hung up to dry by the fire
Now, the prolonged static in the radio clears
        Cutting through the kitchen grease
 Exposing the manner in which dust settles.
