Wine Talk
The new religion turns wine
into language elevates adjective
baptizes licorice tobacco cinnamon
leather tar grass orchid and fruit
of all kind a disparate fellowship
then hands it over to art
fruit forward with Cezanne-like redness
decidedly Warhol
jammy as a Bonnard
Meritage befitting Matisse
sublime balance reminiscent of Agnes Martin
Marisol-like playfulness
Mondrian structure
Rothko-like depth
a Klee feel to the wine label
simply, a Rembrandt
