Last Night

Last Night I lost

My fucking Mind.

 

Between the poison in our hands

and liquor in the other 

we stood landlocked in our conversation

waiting for the words to undress. 

 

My hands nerved hard. English

less. I said I don’t know how 

to Relationship or how to Human, but

I’d really try.

 

And I said I want you to wreck me

because we chase Memory’s chariot.

Logically, you left.

 

I love you like my last cigarette

rested between my fingers and on fire for me.

The nicotine stain remains.
