It's Harvest Time...

2013 Chardonnay

The building has begun.

They are collecting bits and

Disassembling pieces.

There is flaxen,

Burnt amber, berry,

Desolation —

All the colors you would expect.

In the cobalt blue of night

I find her.

Stock still. Dry-eyed.

Not even preparing for what is to come

Just

Abandoning us there.

There.
