Words:  bend, tabs, hands, sting, frilly, spill, skin, scar, call, list, spread, gel


Tab is gone, off
the list–no more
spills of sodium
saccharin-packed 
cola.  Some are scarred,
bent out of shape 
by this news, but not
I.  Most of the time
it's wine I call for–
nothing too frilly
that stings the pocket
-book, nor a thick,
sweet, gel-like red
like my grandfather
used to drink
on holidays.  When
Summer heat spreads
scorching my skin,
my hands reach
for unsweetened
ice tea.
