I know
I hold my breath
I wait
I anticipate
The burn
That initial burn
The bite
I know it well
Why do I do it
Let it happen
Flushing skin
I think I want it
I need it
I welcome it
I convince myself
It does me good
It will help
Purge me
Lighten up
Settle down
Take control
The second one
Oh the sting
An afterglow
Less harsh
Much warmer
More mellow
By the third
Sweet tingle
Thoughts empty
Mmmmmm
Heavenly
I want more
Yes more
Another one
You’re right
I lean forward
For more
It is what I needGlass in hand
The same again
… please

erm… for your information, in case the thought should cross your mind, I am NOT a lush… I am not referring to three glasses, but merely three tiny little sips.
It only takes one little drinkipoo to work it’s magic…. LOL
