The Whiskey's Wish

like a rock in your shoe, there it is

that daily reminder that what was, wasn't

a sore elbow that flashes of ugly declarations

or a sting during that morning piss that resonates of bad judgment

it's that reckoning of lost morals slapping you with you

the ink in your dream water

the hair in your cereal's milk

 

this scar on your face, it's a tell

that longed look of the vibrating worries

others sense there proximity to loose teeth

or smell shit buried under the carefully plotted words from you, the liar

it's the whiskey's wish for you to stay at this laundry matt

the ghost that makes your eyes puffy

the "L" name in your cell phone

 

Like that rock in your shoe, this is what is real
