a little drunk

a little drunk
blowing into ashes
and raising  fire
from the dead

a little drunk
a little sad
a little mad
i burned my head

my skin shrinks
the blood curdles
in the terror
of facing truth

out of flames
i know
all truth
is but delusion

the night
sinks down
around me,
closes my eyes

a little drunk
i don't give
a damn for truth
or lies

a little drunk
ending the day
i go
to sleep.

a little drunk
a little sad
a little mad
i sleep.
