Bitter Wine

poetry

it lies at the bottom of

bottles of bitter wine dead on the floor

it whispers from its hiding place

on the edge of the dirty razor blade in the bathroom cabinet

it walks into the house

just as your lover walks out on you

and

it holds your hand

when all you were reaching for

was a straw
