Gin (Etheree)

One bottle standing tall in the center of my universe. I orbit around her from dawn to dusk like a dead moon on a never ending course. She is my only reason to rise yet is now the bane of my existence.

Excellent etheree, Connie, and a sober (unintended pun) warning to not let the bottle be the bane. Loved your 'like a dead moon on a never ending course'. Great poetry. ~ John

I can see that an etheree is now. It must be the shape and not the swallow! :)
