Armenian Cognac

A bottle of cognac from Yerevan
is on my kitchen table
as closed as that history
and as silent

of love
and if I opened it the ancestors
hanging here in black and white
would come down from the walls
to have a glass with me
I know a history that's been forgotten
and I know why that bottle of cognac
stands with such singular pride....
