Ginger Beer Bottle
By Sean M
Ginger Beer Bottle,
Bronze vial,
Splendor contained
Beneath your murky glass,
Held to the blazing sun you are illuminated,
beneath your murky glass
a sea of frothing joy and delight,
as the blazing crimson sun caresses your untouched torso
illuminated, bubbling and buzzing
you
Now,
Empty,
Dirt and filth incase your interior
Cobwebs swing like vines
An ecology built on earth
A home for many legged creatures
Shaped by fire,
Born from sand,
Your lid removed,
Open to the elements
Swept out
Against the world you are tattered,
Mutilated by the storm
Your true symmetry is revealed
soda for the adult
alcohol for the child
You are a waterfall on a blistering summers day,
A heavenly taste on a parched tongue
Your crystal magnificence rivals the cosmos
Infinite Brilliance
Contained behind glass bars,
Perhaps one day…
Flowers will push themselves
From your elegant carcass,
Ginger Beer Bottle
