The Last Barrel (+1)

Like wine,

these older days

are vintage

 

Aging,

as each days number

declines

 

Ripe

in the tannin

of what remains

 

Rich

in the sweetness

of time now past

 

The vines

to wither

—in memory lost

 

(The New Room: May, 2021)

 

 

Period End

 

Running away

from the impossible...

Truth,

the last thing that’s caught

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2021)
