Posthumous

I don’t want to

Drink

Or goosestep

To the

Morning

I don’t want to

Chase

White whales

Or investigate

Ball

Lighting

I just want to

Lie in your arms

In the slow

Dream

Hours

Talk to your

Heart

That is all I

Ever

Really

Want…

You used to hold me

Now, nothing holds

I am Samuel Taylor Coleridge dry

Drowning in drink

Pacing this zoo of a room

Howling at the simple moon

Selling all my old detritus

Off to the Rejection Store…
