A Hundred Nights Later



whiskey bottles
on a row
an empty ash trey
never smoked, though
my drug's
my worries
I'm addicted to
the invisible scars
I cannot hide

soft jazz
and alcohol
now chains
me gently to
this sofa

bitter sweetness
soaks me through
this cob-webbed ceiling
watched me perish

but
I'm rehabilitating

there's
piano. violin
a hoarse voice singing
softening
my thoughts
my fears
a melancholy warmth

I started dream
some while ago.
