The table was set.
The morning was fine.
The world lay reflected
in two glasses of wine.
An empty plate
reflected sunshine,
The morning compressed
in two glasses of wine.
What did she see
in undulations of wine?
Were the shapes a portent?
Was there a design?
Were the glasses a mirror
or shadowy sign?
Perhaps they were more
than just glasses of wine.
She and a friend
sat down to dine.
Their reflections drank deeply
from two glasses of wine.

This was inspired by a gorgeous photo that I wish I could post on HP.
