Cheers

“I’m looking for a question,” a delicate one

once said, and got no answer.

Perhaps she forgot the question mark

to get silence drunk. 

 

Another friend had a voice unmatched

up with her intellect; an ardent voice

that spoke frozen wine—

whilst my cellars are chaos of moist.

 

Should we drink to warm up or to melt?
