into waiting glass

Folder: 
bridging poems

 

We were cast in one mold,

bone and sinew repeating the same refrain,

yet the years twist us—

a corkscrew in the hand of time,

driving not toward ruin

but toward release.

 

Birth sealed us with promise,

but the bottle was never meant

to remain unopened.

Each turn alters the angle,

each pressure bends the vow,

until intention becomes vintage,

poured into the waiting glass.
