Empty Bottles



I drink the wine
the wine outside the bottles
the wine uncontained within
glass, the wine a fiery tongue
speaking unknown words
burning my throat, searing
my soul, this wine,
incendiary wine-words.
Why are the bottles
empty?

Fascinating to think of the wine OUTSIDE the bottle.. So much mystery in those words.
