HOMECOMING

I called mom early this morning
I am coming home mama don’t worry
Yes ,Yes, tomorrow most probably 
At this point I am seated on the balcony
Ten stories high on the city canopy 
Gin, some pills to tone down the sea sympathy
I forgot to tell her that really 
I was coming home in a coffin.
