Hangover

This is another nightfall

You asleep on the sofa

Wind blows through the slung open door


Bukowski, Kerouac, Waits

Why go in search of the low life

When presence pains no forgiveness


I tiptoe

It was such a long long journey

Beyond the duty of sleep


Motel bedrooms, Madison county

Where again the night after tomorrow

In pasts their feigns deliverance


Long shadows settle

Of old coal-fired chimneys

All covered by blue sky


Dog tracks, bars with malt whisky

Good time guys of the night

Of the day, a lighter sleeper
