Merlot  

all to
hide behind
wine glossed eyes
of red merlot

the conquests of a night
discovered in
the remnants of
stained crystal and
lights burning,
burning out.

soon

the black pitched sky
would reveal
a spectacle
beyond comprehension.
the journey to understand
beginning at the
threshold which
juxtaposes the matter perceived upon
with all that is extrinsic and, as such, untouched.

-the balance lost
In the spinning-

cool stone pushed to the cheek, as the
Passing
world closes
Out
