I love the way you smell wine corks
and your eyes widen and flutter.
I love the way you palm the glass
like holding a cherub face in your hands,
breathing in like your exhale
could put out one-thousand wildfires.
I love the way you hold it on your tongue
and let it melt between the buds
like toes into wet sand,
sinking beneath your heat.
I love the way your lips tint
as a beautiful bruise- the
deep purples and reds of a ripened fruit
I want to sink my teeth into.
I love the persistent sweetness
of your tongue as it meets mine-
bottles and bottles later,
I am drunk, by you.

probably my favorite... ever. period.
ReplyDeletei love that you capture the simplicities....no, this moment that you chose is seemingly a fleeting moment in life.... it goes unnoticed, and yet,.... this, you remember and cherish...
ReplyDeletei love the way you see the world. i love the images that your eyes dial in on....so much like the lens of a camera snapping shut on the things in life that just come and go without so much as a lingering pause or quizzical pondering....
