Just One Sip
︎Owen Redmond ︎

A thin meniscus between us
Separated by transparent mirror
The film of our disconnect
Just one sip
A time for reflection
Your fractal effigy sits silently
Apparitions splayed out as spectrum
Burnt amber meets chartreuse
Just one sip
A time for refraction
Signifiers of you reoccur
Murmuring gestures across space
Intimating desires of our union
Just one sip
A time for concentration
Pursed lips prepared
Drips coalesce into bodies
Leaking throughout lungs
Just one sip
A time for consumption
Breath dissipates from within
Grasping to you with effervescence
Relinquished into aether
Just one sip
A time for absorption
Our infinite assemblage disperses
Transcending the ephemeral restriction
Everything dissolves eventually
Just one sip
A time for ascension
