A Sip of WineSpirit #179

By Don Corson

*Yeast Homage*

 
Hours after
I still smell yeast on my hands.


Life abundant, counted in the billions
Had slipped between my fingers
As I massaged tan colored granular yeast
Back from its freeze-dried slumber.

"Time to wake up now", I whispered,
My hand continuing to break up the clumps that had formed
As the yeast bathed in pure warmed well water.

I chanted an improvisational wake up song,
The opposite of a lullaby.

I started softly, I crescendoed slowly,
Words were of thanks and encouragement.
I couldn't make this wine without them, I sang in some poetic way.
Mostly, I expressed my thanks in wordless tones,
Hoping my intentions would be transfused into the yeast
Through my fingers as the grains woke,
Took sustenance
And began their needful work.
