My hands
are cracked and bruised
and there are
cuts on my arms
that I don't know
the origin of
In the mirror
my eyes are puffy
and my lips
are slightly swollen
I vomit
for the third time
since I woke up
rinsing my mouth
in the sink
and wondering
what the fuck
went on last night
Sometimes
the morning
is an empty shadow
of an evening lost
and a night
well spent
