my season in the rain


my season in the rain

when i wrote

the dark streets of decay

 

walking wet

singing mad season’s

river of deceit

 

i still tip the bottle

still drink full throttle

but that season

was all about

getting over you

 

now i hardly think

amid the drink

about what we were

 

i have a new direction

jenny and her swollen abdomen

this one bedroom she and i just moved into

 

my drinking took the lead on the dance floor

when you were no more

 

but now that you rarely come to mind

alcohol is still my dominant partner

 

even though i am no longer heart broken

and sad

 

should i take out an ad

“if i don’t need you

why do i still need

what helped me to forget you?”

 

oh fuck it

the bartender keeps taking

the empties when he brings

a new one

so i can’t tell how many i have had

but for some goddamn reason

it never seems to be enough
