Remember that night trying to stay so bright?

Another lonely night    
    this time spent coming home to cry     
    this time spent driving, and chain-smoking, and using the cigarette ember       to center my eye     
     this time thinking it over I decide
I am pathetic.     
      a pathetic 
                        being wincing weakly in blue night
                        pointing fingers at how I'd grown so strong
     a pathetic 
                        burdening of my right
                        knowing I was right all along
     a pathetic
                       drown; drunken and drugged, 
                       desperately delighting 
During despair.


75$: just enough to go somewhere
             but not when
                                                           no one to room with
                                                 best idea is 'keep drinkin'
                                its cold out and you've nothing. 
Cold out in January
    when my earth is shadowed
    all the night spent
    moon muttering with shaken teeth
    (what ecstasy is left lingers low in crystal cups)
   (and I've another moment of deja vu)
   I'm alone in the bleak sea
   with starlight murmurs glittering.
             

Loving the smell of coffee grinding...
    the sun came up today    
   (even if I'm in limbo with repose)
    so pure and direct
     slipping into the corners of my eye
     warming my cheeks especially those
                                           teary ridges.
