Wiping Away Six Months of Workdays

I needed that warm, crystal tulip of wine to wash away the knot in my innermost… wiping away, like a priest or a bartender cleanses a glass, moving me somewhere over the rainbow loosening the ache of shoulders and the nerves from my stomach wiping away six months of work days, I am beginning to feel like my real self again. laughing with family over silly things. we sit around a round carousel of a table, cherishing. i’ve not had to set my alarm and pry my eyes open for days. that lovely vine did the trick, loosening the vapid grapes, cleansing the windows of me. and i know i’ll cherish soon a mimosa with my daughter-in-law cheers to a couple relaxing weeks even if i must work hard replacing tit for tat ‘tis a break from all of that… 5/17/2019

Thanks, Kim, for reading about "My Ageing Hand." There's little I can do to improve it, though; just have to endure it. I, too, enjoy wine, it's one of life's great pleasures, second only to thinking, and third to eating, and fourth to writing. Best to you. / M

Wonderful paean to the value of a vacation --- kicked off with the crystal tulip of wine. Imagism galore here, Kim. Two thumbs way up! ~ Happy Friday! ~ Gershon

We all need a break from time to time and the wine will sure help you to relax. Enjoy your break. Tom
