  • After dark.

    alone
    immersed in after-dark thoughts
    time flew like bullets
    putting in me a thousand holes
    my blood out of me, down the staircase
    down the drainpipes
    seeping out through the door
    right into the tree-roots,
    into the buried filth
    I see rot all around
    sitting without a hair on me
    what monster will I be
    tomorrow morning?
    I have a whole night to dream about it.

  • Another such night.

    it was another of those nights
    when I did not know of my whereabouts
    another such night of intoxication
    I can do better, only I lack reason
    why do better when this isn't that bad
    what am I trying to forget
    what am I running from.

  • Later in the evening.

    woke up
    got up from the bed
    took a dump
    wore my shorts and my t-shirt
    drove out to the tea stall at the corner
    parked my bike, sat there on a plastic chair
    sat
    kept sitting while the old woman ruffled through 
    the fresh stock of cookies and candies and whatever
    kept sitting and watching
    'What do you want?' she asked
    she had to ask
    What do I want?
    an interesting question, but how will I know
    'A cup of tea' I told her
    and while she walked inside to cook tea,
    I got up at once and drove back
    to my home.

  • Just another evening.

    another evening in the countryside
    time to switch on the table lamp
    another evening without a sunset
    another evening chasing away the stray cat
    another evening alone
    another evening holed up in my bedroom
    another evening with a dirty pair of hands
    another evening in the cradle of crisis
    another evening feeling the same feelings
    another evening before another night
    just another evening.

  • What goes around goes around.

    I had been away
    but I hadn't gone anywhere
    I get paid once every month, 
    what a failure
    considering I have to live each day, every minute
    I do not wish for problems that I cannot solve
    I have solved many by being patient
    the ones I couldn't solve, needless to say, they have ruined me
    it's a day sad in appearance -
    leaves falling, neighbourhood noises, screams of a cat,
    a gathering sky above
    I had been away and I was here,
    boxed in red and darkness,
    pushing past midnights on the nights
    I shouldn't have been alive.

  • A verse that better not rhyme.

    it's a morning
    the existence of which
    even the most insane of us
    cannot deny
    and it's alright that it's here
    and not somewhere else.
