DRINKING IN JAGGED LIGHT
drinking in jagged light
from a broken bottle
and the lips and gums bleed a bit
it’s no fun to drink alone
it’s no fun to bleed alone
these fucking shards of light
like splinters in my eye
the last thing I need right now
is sight
as I pass out in the basement
wedged between
the washing machine
and penetrating slivers
of past, present
and future
scotch
broken glass
broken me
