Drinking Milky Midnights


I’m drinking milky midnights from a bottomless glass
                pass those star shots across the muddy counter
                last time gettin’ jiggy with anything was cool was the 90’s
                harassing blind men half your age to dream a better dream.
I’m sauntering along concrete steps while shadows dance with the moon
                soon our legs will falter and crash to the ground
                crooning melodies our forefathers mouthed during the war
                swooning over plastic memories painted on the drunken walls.
We’re hunched over a deserted bench waiting for the bus to never come
laughing at all the scenes we’ll recall years beyond this sun.

Dry me in the rain


Sky stuffed with stifling grey clumps
Conspiring eyeing my open hands
Mind too fuddled for an
Umbrella morning
Sniffing moisture like a fresh breakfast
Passing signals blinking
From the sudden fall
A sibilant rush of rain
Water mirage
Faces from before
Blurring the foggy windows
The doors slide open at my stop
I willingly wash out my mind.
