Yvonne Zipter

Genius

At 3:30
in the A.M.,
I’m always
brilliant
as a torch
in a moonless
wood—a
brilliance
swallowed
by the light
of the sun.


Yvonne Zipter is the author of poetry collection Kissing the Long Face of the Greyhound, the novel Infraction, and countless insomnia-induced scraps of poetry.
