Vin de Noir


As darkness fell
two daffodils gleamed
in January just gone
near the path just dug
weeded of hyacinths
last year

As darkness falls
talk of two raised beds
down near the fruit tree
where parsnips failed
 in rich loam
infested with roots
from the apple tree

Vin de noir
served at sunset
long before dinner
walnut wine mixed
with cabernet
