Poetry forms: The Etheree


Let's Call it a Courtship

I
wanted
to treat you;
to take you to
a new restaurant
where they served gourmet food
of the kind you ate as a child
when you sipped of the tormented,
drank wine made from the blood of the damned
and teased slivers of flesh from broken souls

I don't think I've been to that restaurant.

Steph - no- not at all.

Aims - it's a pleasant atmosphere. Very warm.
