Miserable Drunken Swan Song

Mike Brennan

As I rise, shaking spastically, to greet the morning sun
I hallucinate sacred poetic passages
Writhing unnoticed & unaffected, picking up the morning paper
Within an inner carnival cackling with
Groans & moans as I remember her
Gone sour
& much too early,
Like milk,
Once again

& into this critical ode of woe and nonsensical O’s
I sparked our flame too often to tend to the fireplace
& with your lightning, kisses, and philosophized air breaths
I viewed through your translucence- my youth balding
& flipping through family albums filled with epilepsy

Across empty rooms & dusty floors
& through a mostly minor alcoholic insolence
Anonymous witnesses scorn my persona of personally thirsty spite

& it was to whom I surrendered all
& slept sickly
Laughing at today’s own tragic games
& the casual warfare of another day
Ruined by the migraines of another
Lost battle with the rain.
