Film Noire

Drip, drip, dripping down
The moon it shimmers
In the blood that ripples
On the ground

Pink water
In the sink
A cockroach
On the wall

Sip, sip, sipping up
The whiskey from an
Old tin cup; one last
Gulp devours all

Now lay
Back and
Go to 
Sleep

This is not a pretty scene that you have portrayed...Sorta like a diminished hexaverse ...Don't know if the count is correct..Don't think it is...Little changes would fix that...Sara
