3rd Annual Poems About Suicide Month

[just mercedes]

vintage




This casually structured wine
uses grapes plucked at random
in the searing heat of midday
by withered crones, crushed
underfoot by certified
Mediterranean lepers
and aged in grubby plastic vats
for weeks at least. It is characterized
by perineum colour and sweaty foot
notes with a spicy semenal finish.
Ideal as an accompaniment to suicide.
