LA BODEGA:


That secret fingered place, of times gone by,

Where old bottled nectar quietly sleeps & lies,

Where wooden kegs slumber & so does wine,

Embraced by silken cobwebs & in dust, entwined,

That sighing place that whispers in boozy breath,

Echoing of promised life to come & tales of death,

Those luring glints, of gold, ruby-rose & garnet reds,

La Bodega, where bubbles lay their drunken heads,

That sacred place, of adobe walls, cobbles & cork,

Where insatiable palates, leave no room for talk,

Where drunken mice stagger & the old men dream,

And within cool shadows, life´s not what it seems,

La Bodega, of vino tinto & stamp of flamenco feet,

That place, where life with dust, gathers to meet.
