let’s close this book
on the chapter
where I still smile
my mind floats
so draw your words
when the question comes
just listen between my black liver coughs
or just watch the tremor of my cracked yellow hands
while I throw up on my side of bed
let this charade end
let the curtain bend
let the tragedy kick in
with a last applause
there is no miracle honey
I’ll pay you in sorrow
instead of money
and in the morning we’ll
both be sorry
there is nothing beautiful in me
save your pity for better company
we got a night around a fire
and tomorrow I'll chase the cold
and you will grow old
