Burgundy
So this is what it’s about
sitting under the darkening sky
hoping to finish the last red drop
before the first rain drops
swirling burgundy around the crystal
grape puddles breathing an oily fog
spit seeds of perception—
the acidity of intellect
eating through the rinds of remorse
as she speaks
and speaks?
