this blood of the vine...
this red verse...
this golden green nectar...
and all runs from your stalk
all stoic
and entwined
with history
and the palate
of princes and prostitutes and pipers...
pepper our conversation
gently at first
then din burst coax roar and raging rave
about the sky
the seas
and the women
we lick suck kiss caress undress
mess up our hearts souls spirits and lives...
and this blood of the earth...
we flow drip drown in
add to our wholesome
caseroles
our pans of marinading mothers
who heat us with their quiet want
to exhale and we can swallow absorb their whole healing hearts...
but instead
the rosey ripe red
reaches us in quiet aroma and tongues all atingle...
awash with ruby emerald liquid lust...
our lips purse...
and the world of words disperse...
leaving us to the silence of our sated senses.
