Stepping into a Lightless Basement
And the headaches get worse,
like the shock of alcohol to the mind –
a wisp of thought draining the dregs of
poison and remedy,
remedy and poison.
The mind is slipping, so society puts it. Words like leaves only lasting a season, and I remember the sound of autumn; dry things like leaves, twigs and forsaken liquor bottles, forsaken glass.
Funny how our eyes search the darkness for that which it will only see in the light.
