Dionysiac

Poetry’s pictures celebrate eternity,

The breath of flowers

A sacred perfume

Kissing naked eyes

In the porcelain morning.

Stars dance

A window on a velvet night,

Haunting the cup

Of Universe,

Melting fevered desire

To champagne.

    I love the ‘melting fevered desire to champagne…’
    I seem to vaguely remember such an occurrence…
