Meritage

Glass of red wine

Shatters on the floor

Shards that slice my skin.



A meritage of grape and blood

Metallic, tannic concoction

Bittersweet communion.



A dry, sticky taste

Clings to my mouth

From our last kiss.

I bite down hard

To quell my quivering lip.



Salty, sweet concoction

Bittersweet communion

A meritage of grape and tears.
