11.A Drunkard, Alone
In these fumes of whisky and tobacco
I disappear, slow-
This soft music
And this solitude-
Mind dulls
Limbs droop,
My death, come!
The last visitor has left.

Guillotine
To bite into a chicken’s fried leg
And tear it with a twist of the head
Lick the morsel stuck on the cheek
With the gravy dribbling down the chin…
To light and draw deep on a cigarette
And watch the plume rising
Or the rings reluctantly vanishing
Gazing at the clouds rolling by…
To fondle a glass of whisk y
And listen to the ice clinking
The nip in the air fading
As the cool breeze waltzes by…
To stretch back on the park bench
And ruminate on nothing
Content, still, fulfilled
And admire a young girl passing by…
