The Last Stanza

The Bottle and I

Stuck on the desk, 
the bottle stares at me.
Left behind,
by someone it was happy to belong to.
It is half empty,
half filled.
Cold inside out.
It is emptying gradually
as small drops,
one
by one,
escape it.
There is a leak in there, somewhere, but I cannot find
and cannot heal.

Today, it's me and the bottle
looking at one another
through the invisible
mirror.
