alcohol and moontans
A Poem by alan peter kelly
interminable night
dawn forever arrives
as a variation
in the texture
of air
a cold sweat
lapsing into forgotten
soon after the vague
sepia tincture
ceases its creep
along warm
archaic carpet
in here
barflies greet a dawn
with bent elbows
chump change
and a phosphorous
amalgam of alcohol
perfume / cigarette breath
and
as many a time
i feign ignorance
to each new
impending end
there is always
the day outside
challenging me
to remove
the costume
put my hands
where it can
see them
and exit
quietly
into order |

Always your words are fluid blending unto one another.
