The wine lines my lips with red stripes,
sipping warm-colored liquids for three hours
not so slowly, trying to tip my thoughts
enough for you to slide out,
but you don’t go
and tag clouds and statuses
summon you
social connections draw back to you
the web is strewn with pieces of you
like Her saying your Name –
and it’s a mystery,
the number of times
a heart is wrecked
via
technology,
a wonder that the wine
doesn’t fix anything.
