The Wine We Drank

[Lykren]

No mark was left
no dark and silent watching
was set upon the path
but color unfolded
wherever we stepped

Our short walk bloomed
into a vast circle
below a black sky
from which nothing slipped

not even rain

And the half-moon rose, half-sighed
as our stories turned opaque
our noses became numb
we were dizzy still

with the wine we drank
and nothing came true
but the wine we drank.

[Lykren]

One bump before I let this thread die. Any takers?

"DWW"-- drinking while walking. The first strophe (stanza) is somewhat vague. Why are the noses numb -- from the cold or from the booze? Last four lines are great.

[Lykren]

I was thinking from the cold.

Thank you!
