[RED WINE]:

A bottle of wine,
Red,
Drink it down,
Silky and fine,
Spill that liquer down yr throat
And drown;

All your internal organs
Are doing backstroke,
And your brain
Is the timid lifeguard,
And your body a river
Of red wine,
Silky and fine,
Shut-eyed and blind....

A fluid statue of our times.

I could hear a melody as I read this. I think it would be perfect as a song. *puts on poetry critic hat* I like how you choose one subject and completely immerse yourself in it. It's like you're swimming in your own poetry.
