untitled pillows

Dawn disclosed it –

Light from an honest butter sky

Reveling in a freelance body next to me,

With our fragrant attraction

As dried up

As an Atacamian kiss.

I put in me

Sweet, sweet whiskey

Sweet scorned man.

Back then, under the accents

And sweet reprieve of street swept skies

We had clinked our glasses several times

As we chose the jukebox plays

Of Zeppelin, Skynyrd ...
