last poem before sunrise


most of the days i sleep away in drunken lullabies

then walk the sidewalks of l.a. like whispers in the sky

i’m drinking two to drink a third don’t ever ask me why

in this theatre the absurd christiaan pasquale’s passing by

the moon’s a sliver of a pie from thanksgiving tables

all bellies full with heavy sighs fall asleep to cable

 

flicker from t.v. screens illuminating windows

the ashes from my cigarette a waterfall crescendo

darkest dances before the dawn asking me to partner

serenading with a song and closing with departure

i’m at the stairs up to my place where my apartment lives

i’ll dream with drunken lullabies that all my sleep will give
