I(fall)
A Poem by Matthew Bass
like ashes dripping from the cherry of a forbidden cigarette, on a cold morning drunker than I intended to be.
The bile builds up in the back of my throat as I hover helplessly over the toilet, wishing my stomach would make a decision.
I have never been lonelier in this bathroom pondering the point, of all this! While I try to recover what has been redacted from my memory, then find the courage to look back in the mirror, and continue on till tommorrow.
Sixty-Four days since the descent began, and the bottom still seems like an illusion although I know it´s there waiting in the darkness keeping close watch over the other half of my soul. |
