THE LONELY BOTTLE:


From vineyard he came, filled with red wine,

From sun fathered grape & tendrilled soft vine,

Green bottled in bodega & in cellar, cool stored,

Bought by imbibers & by fine diners implored.

 

Wine supped bottle, now empty, sad & discarded,

Last drop licked off rim & by tramps disregarded,

Now kicked upon cobbles, so far from jade vine,

No longer man´s friend, nor of ruby blood wine.

 

Green bottle now lonely, within its silica yearning,

A message it´s entrails, tossed on waves churning,

All that´s now left, its crystal soul to be smashed,

In smithereens, upon foreign rocks, to be crashed.
