melancholic alcoholic
trysting through a trough
living for a couplet
dying at the cost
breath in your soapstorm opera
tealeaf fingers crossed
breath out your grand absurdity
of words cruel anguish lost
for you the poem is yourself
in a season out of rhyme
alone you are your reason
out of space and out of time
for you there is no heaven
no way no nevermore
no wing to quick your spirit
no sky of blue to soar
only i am naked
flesh to metaphor
in plain sight hidden
unlicensed
star
dressed in morning
