Question: "elbows bent", What of words of tomorrow!?

elbows bent


bottle before me,
after you
corkscrewed again
you mentioned tomorrow
20 years ago
tastes now tarnished with time
what did you mean by good bye!?

in this glass I seek nothing,
and am rewarded in kind with

visions

you screaming to stop the questions
emergency room doors, slamming on heads
bathtub scenes of romance
dinner plates full of boredom
boxes filled with!.!.!.boxes
territories marked with tears
cigarette stained reminders
remind me
elbows bent backwards

bottle before me,
after you

It isn't sentiment you find at the bottom of the bottle, but sediment, which can make you very sick!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
