Tectak: So, I thought about the distillation/ferment thing and decided I like vintage more than distilled maybe ferment would work better. It has a definition that would still be appropriate.
Maybe:
You would have us believe
man did this to man—
truth fermented into such
bitter vintage.
It's just a thought. I'm working through your notes.
