I am
a burgundy glass of Dubonnet.
You are
a White Russian cocktail.
We blend
magnificently together
on a mattress of dreams.
The ice cubes are melting
and fusing the air
into a rarefied essence
of sweet inebriation.
Outside,
the weather is undecided.
Inside,
the mood is one of changes.
Thunder! Lightning!
Human vessels,
in their element ,,,
electrify
