I used to love it—
the first hit at the back of the neck.
The promise of love,
of poetry, of sex—
all in the chime and tinkle
of the mouth-blown glass.
What was I looking for
in those crystal depths?
Transport to
a realm
of pure spirit?
Transparency?
Transcendence?
It was never there.
But I remember
the dream.
Dear God, may
I find it again
with my own elixir.
