1/15/21

- owed to Jack Daniel’s



it always started out
wanting to be filled
with something more
than emptiness

the twist of the cap
the break of the seal
the overwhelming aroma

almost sexual, the thrill of it
orgasmic anticipation
sipped upon
ingested

muddled soul and muddy heart
in dire need of arousal
begging in a naked state
of desperation

no love, no religion, no sex
provided such warmth
from lips to tongue
to throat to belly
to body throughout

but the bottle only
contained so much,
there was an unconditional
beginning
but a definitive end

and every hour
spent in elation
was defeated by
twice that spent
in destruction
