centered on a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Reflected
to waste in blindness—
wasted it’s nonetheless
epiphany
of what would be
if eye turned to eyes beholding.

Bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape—
whore expensive. The loneliness
is more than enough to justify payment
for drinks and joys in solitude;
glazed eyes lose their eyes beholding.

And there, with the blindness and the loneliness and whoring—
could you be reflected
and missed?

Excellent!

To raise a small point, I would only like to see "it's" written out fully as in, "wasted it is nonetheless". Otherwise, perfect to this mind's eye.

i agree with the visual element of writing out "it is"...but when it is spoken, i like the ambiguity of "it's" and "its". because i'm anal retentive ;) i suppose.

thanks for the comments! it is helpful!

like how the eyes turn glazed and lose their 'spark'

something like drinking and sleeping someone out of your system, it doesn't work.


love lots
