DRINKING

to forget.

Maybe Wild Turkey 101 to slow                                               

my crashing mind.

Whiskey on the rocks to erase hours.

Maybe Wild Turkey 101 to slow

the tenacity of alone.                                                

Whiskey on the rocks erases hours,                       

the burn cinders pictures of together.

The tenacity of alone                                              

is sucked under by the bourbon going down.                           

And the burn cinders pictures of together.                                              

One is all it would take

to be sucked under by the bourbon going down.

With my crashing mind

one is all it would take

to forget.
