Red, Red Wine

Sploosh!

An interweaving stream of fluid burgundy falls fast

Slipping from the tip of this crystal clear glass

Flowing down through gravity 'till it makes contact with the exquisite white spongy strings

strung together for the sole purpose of sale.

 

"Shoot!"

She exclaims

As she seeks to supplement a spill with her own soul

not noticing that neither wine nor bleach

stop the spinning cycle from spiraling down
