beer vs. liquor

Untitled

A window ago

Home stole snow globes

Wino-style, dying on linoleum tile

Upturned lips in perturbed slips

Listless and

Undeserved

To the nines

and

I keep putting the song back together as it continues collapsing

Lately it’s been left on floors in dancehall mirrors drunk

On weekend leave after evacuating ships in cold whispers

Which reminds: let us find ways not to forget the treasure was never there.

Brass is too brash for this solemn, garish wake we’ve crashed.
