Red Wine-Red Whines

Red Wine-Red Whines

by Bridget Kathleen

Pair my wine with the time

The later the night, the deeper the taste

From the bottom of that barrel, aged not to waste

I can sense the warmth before it touches my tongue

Wanting to drink enough to fill just one lung

Simply making myself comfortably miserable
