beer tayo



last night, someone's shadow flitted in between breaths and almost made me cry...now sadness sleeps soundly in my belly and i can't flush it out.

it wills itself to sigh and breathe and sleep on its own.

it feeds on my thoughts.
it drinks from emotional vapor hovering and floating over my head, into my heart and under the soles of my feet.

i watched happy thoughts wilt under its weight. the smiles waned in its shade. the nub of wings prematurely formed were clipped as well. once more, the shadows i thought would remain muted in the background embraced the darkness of my room and blanketed me once more.

sadness is the cold lump curled in deep slumber at the pit of my stomach...no. no tummy aches. only an aching that it would yawn out of me soon. be lost in a sigh, melt in a whisper, evaporate in breath.

maybe i could drown it in a beer.

cheers, bottoms-up.

the tab is on me.
