Now I find this poem reaches into my lungsand produces a gasp, almost like Ted Hughes\' \"Thought Fox\" did the first time I read it. Super writing, thank you!

My friend, this moves with such reverence…ink as breath, pauses as doorways, a poem slipping into the chest instead of announcing itself. You wrote the inner life of creation with real grace. Beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, this whole piece moves with such controlled intimacy...the weight, the slow descent, the breath of the bottle, the warm cork in hand. You turned a simple act into a quiet revelation. Loved this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Poetic thoughts put to ink. I find may a poem breaks in through a closed window or door forgotten unlocked to find it sitting on my bed or in my shower. Startling me out of what would be a quiet day and ordering me to the laptop. Seldom do they come whole but in handicapped form, some without feet, body or heart. A wonderful write my friend.

It sure does, and when it\'s down and the page is a picture, all is good.
It\'s when you\'re in company and the thoughts come through, what do you do.

A fine write A. it\'s my saying again \'I never knew there was so much to (x), but I know now!\' and in this case \'x\' being \'writing a poem!\' Glad you rustled those pages and got your quill out to write. Quill? Well, I am millions of years old, with Goldfinch too, so I say. heehee. He won\'t be insulted by saying we\'re both very old.

It may start with the corkscrew, but that\'s only the beginning of the sensual journey the couple hopefully take.
Now, is it red or white.

Inviting and alive this poem in its literal sense brings anticipation to the tongue. But I in my constant wandering metaphor mind sense another perfume and aroma. This very well might be a very sensuous and even sexual poem of seduction and coitus but I think it could also be more. The tool of penetration of a corked bottle that holds treasure in the body of a mind. To extract the cork it must be not direct but convoluted twisting its way in opening the mind to the vintage of years and giving air to its vintage, allowing it to be partaken by those around it. Sorry Cryptic for such a twisted view of a cork screw.

Arqios - I hope my comments did not offend you. If I am wrong about the poem, I apologize. But some of the imagery really stuck in my head which is a good sign both for me and your poem. I\'m 64 and every sign of decline in mind or body is a cause for concern. How could this poem not have made an impression on me?

I remember this poem. It is worth repeating. My memory isn\'t that exact. Is it word for word the same?

You describe in wonderful detail the toll that the ravages of time gradually take upon the human body and mind. Poignant and perfect!

Arqios, the whole piece breathes like someone moving through exile inside their own mind…your imagery carries a soft grief that lingers long after the read. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

In some ways existential a realization of deterioration in body and mind. Time takes its toll. Well done my friend

My friend, the whole piece hangs on that fragile line between hope and hesitation…the door ajar, the pocketed promise, the dial tone stretching thin. It’s tender, human, and painfully true. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I think we\'ve all done it, stared at the phone wondering, hoping it rings, rehearsing the words that never get said.
It\'s a mad couple world of, should I, I will, but what if. This is why Bars were invented.

There is such a sad tone to this poem an offer made a call not connected. The message is clear but there is static on the line. Well expressed that feeling between friends and acquaintances. Wistful, longing a connection not to be made
