Cape Valley, 1995
She was caught
in the moment of Chardonnay,
passing through rooms
like six o'clock sunlight,
bonded to Italian crystal
that kissed her madly.
She swayed over the sweetness
of teeth
and
lips
and tongue tips,
and the currents
of pressed rivers
that travelled from her goblet
into her elegance of awkwardness.
