Vapor by Celia Turner

Your love is like the Higgs boson,
a postulation even you doubt
when you assure yourself it exists,
voice sopranoing on the word
love, a Valley girl lost
in the looking glass,
smell of mercaptans
definitely detectible,
face in the flare earnest,
as if speaking deepest truth.

Celia Turner is a Loveland published poet in Northern Colorado Writers annual anthology, Poetry Potion and winner of the 2020 Denver Women’s Press Club Unknown Writer’s Contest. She regularly studies poetry, takes workshops and classes. The Grind online practice of a daily poem submitted to a random participating group each month has been a boon. Poetry for her is an ongoing intimate conversation she continues to have with strangers.
