after a glass of scotch
it's been over five
years since i have
fallen asleep in the
arms of a woman
i loved
loneliness has such
a cold detail to it
when it is attached
to time
and i simply need
to close my eyes to
welcome depression
to the fold
and pretty soon
after a glass of scotch
it's one of those nights
all over again
