two bottles down

[plural]

The
closet lady
came over
to mourn her
day

and we
talked
and
cracked
a bottle
of her
favorite
Riesling
with which
to commiserate
and
when
that
was
dry

we cracked
a sauvignon blanc
and
in short order
a
chardonnay

which
I have
several
glasses
yet
to consume

may I say
alcohol
does not
ease
longing
nor
anticipation
but
accentuates
the
yearning

unbearably

mmmm

love

soon

but
not

soon
enough
