Red wine aspiring

I know I can’t mention red wine in this poem
without conveying blood, so forgive this lie
when I say that red wine means summer nights
                forgetting the hot summer sun under
a dark blue night, while stars
                collect dust on this un-swept patio
and I too, gathering courage and must
                as a cooling breeze sweeps within
my shallow mind.
