Catharsis (Triolet) by wilco
Three flights of stairs and a bottle of wine upwards into her apartment. Walking with fingers intertwined up three flights of stairs and a bottle of wine. Her eyes are beaming, I'm closing mine and contemplating a swift descent. Three flights of stairs and a bottle of wine upwards into her apartment.

Up the ladder: Thoughts Asunder
Down the ladder: Disaster in Disguise

Zounds. Up a bottle of wine. No wonder you feel like you're going to fall down the staircase.

I've broken the nudity record.

Yep, thats a good one; good use of the form.

Consider replacing "Walking", it's implied and the space could be better used to express the mood.

the wine/mine rhyme, btw is a good coupling and the long "i" sounds work well.

when you say "contemplating a swift descent" are you implying she will go down [on you] quickly (or vice versa), or are you saying something will be leaving soon and quickly?

I'm thinking the last "upwards" slot could be better used as well.

The way I understand it, the last line must be identical to the second line, which I why it is what it is.
