sloven

in a corner

lost, unattainable

vibrating in his

tousled state

another dour dose

of reticence

bloats the belly and

burrows into bones

still sore from the fall

from a height that

friends once called

magnificent

  life that was

  organized

  and conquered

  and quite delicious

  trembles there

  lost in a corner

  disheveled

  tasteless

  and out of reach
