Week 125, Sleep then


How long.

Only two or three days.

A cross town escapade of shallow engagement and unsatisfactory consumption.

No cat, who would think that the difference between a serene, structured life and a perpetual lost weekend.

No responsibility, but back nonetheless.

Slide into the glassy bed, mid-morning, stagnant cold from the unoccupied flat.

Recovering from highs, lows, a washing in and out of alcohol.  And unwashed.

Hollow bones sing an astringent squeal and echo the feel of ice water forced through glacial microfractures.

Dispersed minerals and electrolyte leave a body depleted, in need of artery clogging food and sweet tea.

Teeth clenched, a distant migraine, a knot of constipation, a shattered bag of too many words.

Sleep now.

Now.

Do it.

While a lowering sky tells you an empty story.
