QUADRILLE: WINE
Grape seed oil
I grab a bottle

Cheddar blocks
in plastic wrap
Into the trolley

A trolley

Turn around or wait

Smile behind my mask
Nod and move on 

A bottle of wine
Wheeling to the cashier now.

    That "smile behind my mask" leaves its mark. Looking forward to seeing people's smiles again.

    Gillena - Happy Easter to you! Your pretty flowers are perfect for this most special day in our faith. I gave up wine for Lent, so your poem was spot on for me! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!

    I enjoyed this trip to the supermarket, Gillena. I haven’t been in a long while. I like the ‘smile behind my mask’ at the trolley in the way – nothing much has changed!

    Gillena, this is lovely, but I might be biased because I LOVE cheddar!
