A sunrise, a vineyard, stairs that invite you
to enter darkness.
Paintings on the walls of a cold, dark cellar
— unsmiling fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers.
Wines waiting, wines forgotten,
spiderwebs like dreamcatchers,
time machines in bottles.
Although you can’t travel back in time,
you can still experience the past
in the present
by drinking the potion.
But you know this very well:
We don’t drink wine to remember,
nor do we drink to forget.
We drink wine to make
memories that, in the future,
we might want to forget.
