Poem

A blustery cold wind is blowing
The smell of a wooded pallet burning in the winter’s dark
He peels back the jagged lid of tonight’s dinner
Ironically staring at a wall painting of a broken heart

The Lucky Liquor sign provides a beautiful light
Reflecting colors from the earlier days rain
He slowly shuffles to find a dry spot
While taking a shot of booze to mask the pain

His bedding was pulled from an old rusty dumpster
One man’s trash another man’s delight
He anxiously covers his head in a makeshift bed
Slowly sips… and slips off into the night

As he fades into the cold night slumber
Darkness provides respite from all of realities pain
The harsh memories fade to dream-like whispers
The devil laughs at this temporary masquerade

The irreconcilable emotions of her and them
Awakens with the early morning sun
Hopeless feelings from selfish needs
He takes another sip - to forget - all the foolish things he’s done

Shaking off the nights dirt of shame and pain
A prisoner in his own mind
Reflecting back to that crucial moment
All he left for that little white line

The old heavy doors creek open
The candles softly glow beneath the old oak cross
He slowly bends his knees and begins to pray
For all he’s done - and all he’s lost

As he makes his bed for the dark night ahead
The pain of hunger and regrets feel amplified by the neon light
In his makeshift bed he covers his head
Slowly sips - and slips into the night
