DAY NINE: Should be Feeling Fine

Wind which rallies the skin yet makes one feel more porous
Poor us
Opened Richard Perry's bottle of wine
Finally
He gave it to me a couple of years ago
Dated 1971
It was German, a dessert wine
Poured auburn
Tasted tarnished yet sweet
I miss him and those times
Recorded an old Paul McCartney song tonight
with Doogie
We drank whisky and crowed over how sweet
it sounded
Whisky wine
old people old songs
chocolate melting in my mouth
as I write you
mind bust open like a broken zipper
almost bedtime
but I break myself to stay up
and open
