Night down the pub


from the ABC set Poems 1

Night down the pub
Magic in a bottle
Had enough now
Put my foot on the throttle

Hazy vision
It’s not far now
Bumping the curb
Must pay attention

Revolving scenes
Lethargic
Engulfing
World of dreams so inviting

At peace for a moment
Before the storm
Rudely awoken
Before the war

Hit something…
Was it breathing?
Save myself
Leave the bleeding

Dump it somewhere
Burn it
Kill it
Erase the past
I should be in it

Soul infected
Lost in pain
My defining moment
Ashamed

Sanctuary in site
Blue lights shouting
Legs so heavy
Eyes are sagging

I confess...
