Cheese, crackers, herb and wine

Cheese, crackers, herb and wine

Cheese, crackers, herb and wine
toasting the new year
while cursing time.

A new year?
What is new, what is not any more than the residue
of the endless intent of endless yesterdays?

Or is it a refining of vision,
a quest and answering of questionings
concluding today is all there is until tomorrow?

Cheese, crackers, herb and wine,
sacraments of earth and time
are all I need today.
