In Vino Veritas

The old monster is out again;

And, it left glass shards on the floor.

I stared at me in those pieces.


Hands reached to grab a small fragment.

Piling them in a plastic bag,

Blood replacing glass on the floor.


Long ago, I winced... the pain.

Now, it feels like Monday morning;

Something that usually happens.


Seconds passed. Glass gone and blood-free,

A bloodied rag and plastic bag,

Covering the scene of the crime.


It wasn't your role, fixer.

They made you believe it was.

You're wiser now. See the bullshit.
