Relapse

(Bruce Lee was All Energy, taken from this planet...)

I am nothing.

My soul is white,
not even a color.

All those days boasted, counted
come undone in one irrational step.

Longer than the listless nights,
Longer than the afternoons,
humdrum, journeying into
night…
If I could've held on a little longer...

One more drink and I cross the line
one more line...
and there are faces
hidden in the trees.
