and here I empty
these ropes
like a cork
unstop myself
from the grapes,
swollen and fermented
in wine bottles
change myself
into naked core
yet to be polished
by your taste buds
bring my nipples towards
the taste of your throat
where purple stains
will drown your tongue
until there is only
this sound:
a noise of bones and lips
and a dark fluttering
of eyelashes
where our hips
meet
and we celebrate
our pregnant autumn
until I notice
you have become
the wine
slowly sliding away
because my wings
reached out to be cut
by an abstinent archangel
with the quiet click
of the cork
but I only speak
the language of pouring

An excellent poem! Your wording is beautiful and flows well, while you create a wonderful metaphor of passionate lovemaking, comparing it to a fine wine. Great picture too! ~Charles~

And it was wonderful collaborating with you as well, Diana. I haven't written a collaboration poem in quite a while, but wow, I am so pleased with what we've achieved. The language of wine and pouring speaks in red truths...and I think we speak the language quite well, my friend!

The title means "in wine there is truth", as specified in the author comments.
