Absinthe - Van Gogh

Psychedelic January 25

I let my mind swim
    until merely my components 
       gaze longingly past the bottle's content
  losing self 
     to become 
   defined, etched in glass 
         my hands never in the frame
   nor lips wet
       as I imbibe
  insanity 
   tempered with water
         circling
     I drop into the pool
  generate circular tides 
      that rise and recede
out of respect 
    for the gravity of my situation 

           chairs, tables, drift in, drift out
     they are you
   you are I
          I thought I missed you
     called your name
  just hours before darkness fell

        now light cleanses my eyes 
    lucidity washes clean my decisions 
         I'm who I was 
    in reverse
         swimming against tides 
that carry me home
     until 
       exhaustion 
   transforms hard floor
       to soft bed
   where a pained head rests
       crushing somewhat
      the remnants 
          of a pained mind
