damn it, it’s mine
a tangy taste, a shadow
dusk of skin and eyes
I own, but the word...
you sucked it up
like a sponge, chilled
in your toxic martini
of cleverly twisted
phrases – look here
that branch won’t
grow your direction
not for awhile

Nice.....

...use of the olive tree. The olive, the twist in the martini and then the olive branch of peace - not ready to be offered.

Clever work - a five.

Stirred - not shaken

A two olive 'tini for the Gibson man (old C/W song).

I can see this one graphically displayed in the shape of a martini glass.

Clever words,

maybe too clever to be clear as gin??

or perhaps

a touch too much

vermouth

I agree with ...

the other two posters. I don't understand it all, but I

love it and I'm glad it wasn't me who screwed up. Men

can often screwup and never know why. Thats the way I read

this short wonderful work.
