How Do You Feel
I feel bubbly but corked
Reserved and labeled
In the light, I sparkle
However, my home is dark
And cold
And chilled
No, I'm not a message in a bottle
Floating across the sea
Never to be found
Or a keepsake that's mothballed
No, I sit in the cellar of life
Collective and silent
Like a vintage wine
And worse, as someone's housewife
My husband uncorks me
At his whims
And on his special occasions
His eyes tell me he savors the taste
As he sips away my abyss
Yet as his eyes become fulfilled
I am left empty and downtrodden
Then he corks me back up
And takes me back down
