The Wine Tweets
The Wine Tweets
I'm positive the gibbous moon before the sun has set appears to be an almost mathematical cloud or maybe it's me
before I opened up the Cabernet I saw no moon within the river so I did not jump in after it
after the wine the world became much easier to understand; I pointed to two moons
my midnight conversation with the moon was certainly one sided; it is and I listened
when the moon advised me I should open up another bottle of a little something California, the Atlantic nudged upriver
before the dawn I traded places with the moon and understood the sun is always shining
if there had been another night, I could have been the moon for days; but now I am the sun--the moon is just another phase
