These weird evenings are so deep and murky.
Car exhaust on a window pane.
I etch my name.
Caution, contempt, God, I am so bored and lonely.
Given to beer, cigarettes and pornography.
Drunk in the dark to the clatter of small change.
You smell smoke, throw the windows open at the last possible moment.
I'm just not well and I crave shrouding.
The water is cloudy and my face aches now in the cold.
