i pour myself a glass of dark red wine -
sanguine liquid rushing through my veins,
a forceful repeating desire for closure
in a pumping casket, endorsing how

you pour me another glass of red wine.
i use it to quench my heedless thirst;
my fingers wrap around its solid base
and so my mouth swallows it whole.

perhaps i am one wild animal
and no manners are thus needed;
dripping from the corners of my lips
is residue of the love liquid.

your wet words wipe my face clean,
racing their way to my exposed neck;
a punctured trail flows with red wine
so you savour it right off my skin.
