The wine
still as darkness
in the glass,
the soundtrack
mixing the sounds
of life and art
in my mind.
Desiring silence,
yet loathing the fallen sun
for taking you away.
One moment your essence
visceral
the heartbeat eternal.
Next, miles from the pain
of the same distant breeze.
The doctor's daughter
the bronze goddess of passion-
I can't keep my mind off of you.
