the green bottled wine

there's an expensive
bottle
of wine
on top of the refrigerator
that i bought
a long time ago.
a dark green bottle
covered now in dust,
the cork still in.
I think
it's French.
the writing on the front
makes me
think that.
i bought it for a special
occasion of some sort.
a wedding, a honeymoon.
an anniversary.
maybe a birthday,
but it's for 
something that has
slipped my mind.
maybe it was to
christen a ship i was about
to buy,
not impossible,
but highly improbable,
seeing that i am not
the sea going
kind.
