The Melancholy Nectar of Dreams
Drunk on sadness
savoring sweet
melancholy
sipping alone
they try to pry away the gloom
unaware how much I consume
in my dark

But, I see you
and you and you there
we're like winos in this street
unable to commiserate
because each to his own
sipping sweet
savory
melancholy
to the bottom

Fortunate, we stand again
against the coming days
I rise up like you
disheveled and ready
to make myself whole again
before one more moment's sleep
sipping sadness
from sweet dreams --
savory, empty melancholy
complete.
