A GLASS OF RED WINE
"She...she. . .
loves me!
He says it just
- like that!
As if he had practiced it
and had got it
- down pat!
Or as if he were saying:
"Pass the coffee ***."
Or as if...
...I didn't!
I watch him
distorted in the coffee pat
a short stout man
a little man with a long face.
I want to laugh but
I have lost my laughter.
"My...sister! My...twin!...The *****!"
"Go!" I tell him "...just: go!"
He: went.
She felt like an android
or replicant rather..
She thought of her
self now
in the( "Absurd!" )3rd
person singular
as if she had fallen
out of her self.
He: gone.
All those moments
lost in time
making love to Wagner's
TannhΓ€user
( screaming the house down )
always his laughter
her music
stars dancing over
the Bridge of Sighs.
A Santa incredulously
in a gondola
singing Santa Lucia.
"So...
me d'oh!"
she hummed.
This the little song
of her self.
"So mi doh!"
trying to keep its head
above the floodwaters
of belief.
Bladerunner rewound 99 times
to that END.
All those moments
...lost in time
like( cough)tears
in a glass of
red wine.
