Whine 69

They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar. - Thoreau

lost in a tenebrific cellar of existential pathos

a fabulistic, fallen facade of fermentation

a dark, damp distillery of despair

i twist a haphazard, halcyon helix of prayed release

the desiccated cork drops yet further down into the blithe, ballistic bottle of booze

i never did care for that vintage

Author's Note

"I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man; wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fail when I am tempted by them!" - Thoreau

A taster's descent into darkness, and last-line lightened.
Nice write.
