what does one do with a Friday night
when Thursday you nearly gave yourself away
digest
express
drink it down
paint it black
keep your eye on the light that pours through the pinhole in your defenses
don't think-
smile
enjoy
revel
relive
feel all the feelings
all the fingertip bruises
all the maybes
all the wonder and hope
cook your dinner, wash your dishes
put your baby to bed
after
sit and wish you still found cigarettes enjoyable
This one brought tears to my eyes. Love the last line.
