Fine as Wine


So you really are gone.
Anyone there?
The flight of steps
leads to a dark-lit
wasteland of
humid bedsheets.

The room where
I died is where
you exposed me.
Cold, cold bed…

Thinking of Langston Hughes.
Life is fine,
Fine as wine…

Hey, Langston,
just for me:
sprout a
symphony of colours
out of the sound
of blue.
