The DRUNK
I hate you.
People say that is cruel
but they don’t know cruelty
This
Is.
THIS
IS.
The flailing, inebriated fingers
Whip! Lash! Furl and tear
Through fresh flesh of old.
Old heart. Old mind.
Old hopes. Broken… skin.
Hope is the worst.
The devil I never believed in
Moved in.
Incrementally,
Irrevocably replacing you:
My old, forgotten love.
Love?!
The acrid liquid diet the remnant belch of that humanity…
Besides the tears
And smears of shit.
But I am now immune.
You have knocked the sense into me.
T h w a c k
So now?
GET OUT.
And when you die, I will mourn only the lateness of the hour.
For I have run out of ways to grieve for you.
And this new, old fractured woman
Rises and Roars.
At last.
