wine away

as the foot
hits the bottle
then the glass
and the wine
goes up into
the air onto
the white carpet,
in a red splash,
onto the couch,
the pillows, all
in slow motion
and we gasp,
i see in that
instant the
value of a good
wine remover
under the sink
waiting to
be used. amazing
how what seemed
ruined and at
it's end can
be saved.
