This enigmatic photo posed a bit of a challenge ...I'm so late this week to feel the spark!! No one ever said Mag would be easy. Thanks, Tess....

A candle's beam
illuminates the goblet,
as I swirl a plea into the wine.
I hear a moth's whisper,
watch it fly into its fate.
Tiny wings float,
mix with vintage tears,
cheap wine.
Tastes like the Red Sea
before the parting.
