You were so far gone. I would never reach you. Just a petal in the distant wind. The flame it always flickers. But for you and not for me. Then one day I knew you were calling. And just a whisper to your tongue. That's when you were all of me. For a moment, only so. A beer made from the many struggles that pass us in the howling. Wheat, barley, and candi sugar. Motueka, Amarillo, and Citra of many forms. A contortion of sweet and sour tropical cordial, lemon-lime fizz, and sparkling grapefruit soda.
