Bitter End, Way-Worn Beginning

by Christopher Barnes

An armistice in our over-grown extravagance?
You worked up glove puppets, wolf and duck,
Culled thoughts.
 
On the ping of a needle
A cocaine lacuna then
Vodka-piss stairs are flushed.
 
Unveil the door to our kept-back house,
"are you there, my love, are you there?"
