Bottle

On a Monday morning
No no, Monday night
Yes, it was dark
I had some wine
Hot sour wine because it was outside
Snuggled in clothes that hug warmer bodies
We were hiding the truth of a glass bottle.
That heat from heated clothes is in my heated bones.
Tiredness circles in circles around my eyes.
I am laughing at the urge to throw away this
This garbage. But I can’t.
This bottle is garbage now-
A waste of space in a forbidden place.
I had 2.67 cups of it.
Yes, from the same cup I have tea twice a day
But the caffeine doesn’t affect me now.
After 5 hours of sleep and dreamy soups
My day collects itself into heaps of unfolded clothes
Sitting untidily at the obscure corner
That is now a part of the blind spot
In my round peripheral vision. Suddenly I see flowers in the bottle. Purple flowers from daylight. Breathing in the wine. Tipsy topsy lopsy.
