G. Loomis

What lies beneath a laboured breath of hope
when kismet forges an exhale in the shadows of love

That bitter off kilter feeling of homesick
the taste of stale smoke
& whiskey stained regret still lingering on my lips

The angels wept that night

& even the strongest sense of self couldn't wash you off me
