awake

you inside the cave of my soul

is always awake

monitoring my every cell

for the inflow of sugar

awakening my brain when

the trickling stops

no matter even

if mind is submerged in dream

i wake; i respond

to your summoning

giving thanks much grand

naming it: miracle

for cigarettes

he lives

with tobacco

in his nostrils

and lips

hearing the ear drums

drumming only her

groaning

dreaming of her in sleep

or, opening

that rare rear end

to clear the ashes

friend i seek

i need your friendship

more now, than before;

i feel my aloneness

and the much i have lost

without a companion to chat

to receive a timely counsel!

those around me are too busy

and carry their own grief;

when not busy, or not burdened

with woes, often they are fake!

be not far away; speak loud

to me, and clear, that i may hear!
