I won’t kill the millipede in my sink,
won’t halt his tiny legs today.
He is on his way, only caught in a puddle, my mess.

Pour more wine, foolish and fowl fearful fibber.
Pour more and spill a lot, laughing until you’re sobbing, the pain ebbs and fades.
You’re sleeping in your mess and waking to see the others stuck in it with you.

I won’t kill the millipede in my sink,
won’t spill more wine this time.
That metaphorical soon-to-be smashed bottle won’t take my eager light away.

I want so much to scoop up this little creature and apologize, as if I could do so for you.

Clean up my wine, my never-ending ballad of lies and useless time keeping, and aim to not hinder another, again.

I’ve learned so much from something so small.
