The Snifter

The Snifter

by Ralph Sergi©

I dropped the snifter in the sink
It shattered
and I cursed my clumsy hand
and thought about my past
the times I filled the glass
and puffed my Corona
between tiny sips 
and nips of time recalled in Philly
when I sat in my house
that left a residue of friendly aromas
I would stare at the glass
the brandy's deep brown and not a sound
except for the smoke being  slowly wooshed
out of my mouth as I watch it rise 
now time is remote
until I drink again to the Memory
