he told me he woke
naked and cuffed
in a house he didn't
know
dead red wine taste
in his mouth a ball
gag
a few new
scars
he smelled like I remembered
desperate
red-rimmed eyes begging
an angry mob
of one
under arrest again
he always found other violent
people
who'd stab his friends
for nothing
really
he thinks
this is how
it is
it sucks
and its out to get you
all life
is just narrowing
