Drunken BanterA Poem by The VillainSometimes, our past comes back to haunt us...
The boy spoke softly
his cherry lips rendered me completely helpless and as I staggered towards the light I could not rid myself of the broken player stuck on a vinyl of his gentle words. I finally reached the illuminated doors -bathed in the harsh glow of the red exit sign above them- and stumbled into the alleyway. I didn't know where I was, and frankly, did not care. It was night and the street was empty. The boy followed me his steps unwavering trailing my drunk meandering. I don't know who he was or who he is and only truly know that he evoked from me such sadness as I had not yet known. The boy was dead, my memory is now a poem, my poem a eulogy. © 2011 The Villain
