"THE MIRACLE OF WINE
Already within the realm of miracle falls
the grape cluster transformed
into wine. But for me, inept adult
clinging to a negative imprinting
as a child, persuaded of not being able
to ever savor the joy of governing
artisanal, sweetest alchemies,
it borders on the ineffable the moment
when I pour into a glass the labors
of my own, vinous experiment.
After accompanying me step
by step in the patient journey
that leads to the bottle, the wise
friend winemaker now draws up for me the magic
report: light ruby the color,
with fuchsia reflections; the body medium; dry
and silky the taste; the scent clear, intense
and persistent, with notes of foxi, resin and raspberry
that invade nose, mouth, heart and mind.
And it is I who have done all this!
I who have given to others and to myself
drops of joy. I who have defeated -
at least for a little while - the hole
of boredom."
