Rain tastes like wine

The rain tastes like wine

After so long without,

The bitter sip

At the tip of my tongue,

Less bitter

The more I lick

Until it all turns sweet,

I am a honey bee

Sipping from moist pedals

Or humming bird

With extended beak

To reach deep

Where the sweetest

Nectar lurks,

Wings flapping so fast

Even the rain

Can’t weigh me down

Yet satisfy what I ache for most

Lust for wine

Leaving me thirsty

For wine I can get

No place else

But here.
