The whisky sunset
caramelising the sky
is more beautiful
than our love ever was.
Pass a cold one
to remind me
there is more to life
than cancer
or your body
lighting up like a map
of California wildfires
after a break-up.
Let every cell
savour the malt,
the fermentation,
the time spent in moments
beautiful like a whisky sunset.
