This Bitter Champagne Poem by Jessy Liz
This Bitter Champagne
Sweetest lie I’ve ever heard-
A blank shadow of the deepest word.
Turned from champagne to vinegar on your tongue-
Spilling from a mouth that’s far too young.
Too naïve to make any sense-
From depth and taste to ignorance.
Swallow now what you have said,
And sleep from its poison in your river of tears shed.
Jessy, I liked it. It made me think the tongue is a fire that few can tame, and words once said are hard to take back.
