Sadness Sets In The East

The Days and evenings  

become

Boiling

clammy

Smothering

Leaving a sticky glaze
To lay against
Bare skin.






The sun
Reminds  
Me of
The lonely
Night wishes
I cast out upon stars…






The sun and I
Have never been much of friends

Smiling mouth
Of yellow
Heat
Leaves me dizzy
Light
And drained.


So...


We rest in bed
Making love
Lazily blowing ribbons of smoke
To dance and twirl
Towards the ceiling.





The light

Shifts
And
Fragments

Filters through curtains
Leaving Smoky
Like
Patterns....

Glimmering
Illusions
To  
Lighten
And
Darken
The room.






These days

I wear careless
Like clothing,
And try to keep track
Of memories that made me happy.


Family becomes a distant mirage
And
Friends fill in the void.





The sun reminds me of

Everything I fucked up

Amped vodka cherry shooters

And drunken daydreams
Regrets
And you.
