WINTER WHITE BURGUNDY
the mystics, the scientists
in rare accord
every seven years
the body transformed
made afresh
cells miraculousy replaced.
now it is seven years
since that winter eve
perfect champagne
heady floral bouquet
caviar rich and saline
served by dainty spoonful.
limo into new york luxe life
riding a wall street high
dinner sublime zagat heaven
vintage white burgundy
wrapped in vibrant hermes scarf.
had been a lifetime ago
since we’d been rapturous
and all we needed
our reunion kiss lingered, stirred
then i shrank back into my life.
today, renewed cells
emblazoned with visceral memory
wonder anew
what if?
