A finger dipped in water
makes believers want to follow
down the aisle of the church
thirst for the devil.
A finger dipped in wine
makes the users want to sip
the vin de pays first
then down the moscato.
A finger dipped in moonlight
makes guitar strings crescendo
before giving the vibrato
another note to follow.
A finger dipped in sunlight
makes the poet want to master
a verse before and after
the reader turns to laughter.
