Grapes.

Sometimes I think

That I eat grapes too much.

I eat them so much,

And so many that

Some fall into the fissures

Of my mind.

They burry themselves there

And there I let

Them sit.

For days,

months,

For years.

until they ferment,

Until they make me drunk

So mind drunk I think of you.

Of you and your

Intoxicating voice

One I that I can’t make out

Completely until

I eat more grapes that

Fill my mind so full

Some slip down into my throat

And mute my voice

So that yours is the only

One I can speak in

And you always talk of making more

Wine.
