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.
