Fever from the haze of headlamps; Every
point of light is an orb making its own statement;
All beers consumed on the table drool in languish,
some are lolled on the floor like their drinkers. But the
flushing ones are fainting into the next step – Plateaued on
sex but work is another type of alcohol that also causes you to
faint regularly, even when under the glare of cities your flesh
throbs to the pendulum of your heartbeat on overdrive. You
become chaste with loneliness instead and you cannot bear to
smell arms and fabric and the smoke of the corridors. You return
to a home too quiet that you can hear your fears, the glamor of the orbs
coalescing into a single point of exhaustion.
