Coming of age in Porto (Dew Drop Inn #21) [39]
Coming of age in Porto

So unassuming
along the Douro:
the greenness of our blooms,
how budbreak broke the vintage
that year a hailstorm hit,
the year our vines were shorn.
No fruit borne.

This year our green berries
blacken with age,
beg to be plucked,
pressed with the best,
fortified in barrels.

After angels
partake of their share,
bottle us up!
Send us abroad!
Give us a chance
to toast your joy.

© Kåre Enga (20.april.2017) [174.39]

Grape vineyards of the Douro valley, east of Porto. Port wine.
Dew Drop Inn #21 ... coming of age.
Angel's share = what evaporates from barrels.
