Looking Forward to Wine

By Justine C. Tajonera

Today was humid,
full of cares,
two parties to attend,
maneuvering the whole
day through
rain.
In between
everything,
we had groceries,
lists,
checks to
write,
bills to
pay.
But I remember
the wine that
we chilled,
waiting for
us
at home.
The hour-long
ride
back home
doesn't seem
so long.
We will have
our cool
sweet
blackberry
intoxication
in the end.
