the opened wine

how different wine
is went left
out and uncorked
upon the table.
the first  sip
so sweet
making you dizzy
with thoughts
of goodness,
of what love could
be with another
glass or two.
and now, a day
later, it has no
taste. gone flat,
gone sour.
the rest poured
gently down
the drain. even
the label, wrinkled,
wet has become
unattached.
