long summer
the whiskey glass full
of midnights
The Heron's Nest, 16:4, December 2014
Tom Drescher
Chinese Translation (Traditional)
漫長的夏天
許多午夜
的威士忌酒杯
Chinese Translation (Simplified)
漫长的夏天
许多午夜
的威士忌酒杯
Bio Sketch
Tom Drescher has an academic background in English literature but over the years has worked in a number of fields. He is now retired to the family home in the Kootenay region of British Columbia.
Juxtaposed with "long" summer, the unexpected last line effectively adds emotional weight and psychological depth to the poem.
