Blowing more dust off old stuff... this written in 2000, a year before I met my partner and surprisingly applicable.

SIP

If we were pressed
one upon the other
agitating the ferment
and allowed to cool in
one another's juices
~~~
If our combined elements
were further strengthened
joined in the
psychic and corporeal
alembic
~~~
What distillate spirit
we would be
brandy love
~~~
In future to taste
the old draught
and say
~~~
"That was a very good year"
