In vino veritas

“I like on the table,
when we’re speaking,
the light of a bottle 
of intelligent wine.”
--Pablo Neruda

I like the laughter dipping
from one glass to another
hands curled round.

I like the glow in subtlety
where we're joining 
in feeling bright.

I like the voices flowing
over one another
and sipping contently.

I like the way we breathe
revolving with a bottle
set at the center.
