"circumcised in gloom"
when ether is detected
in my wells of chardonnay
i remove the bandage
by calling it a day
pale gold is slowly seeping
to the corners of the room
here i sit, uncorked and breathing,
circumcised in gloom

wine "breathes" when it's out in the open air. it's supposed to be good for it... enhanced the flavor, and then you drink it... the imagery i was going for was how you circumcise the thick foil wrapping on the top of a wine bottle, before uncorking it. and here the subject is identifying with a bottle of chardonnay. as if from self-inflicted wounds, your inner gold is seeping out and draining you. but it's really you circumcising and draining the bottle. as you drink, you are circumcised in gloom. or something.
