The bar feels like home
With dead flies in the corner
And a mist of cigarette smoke
Floating beneath the dingy
yellow light that flickers
Over a creaky pool table
As the TV hums in the background
Each glass of dark amber relief
Carries me further into
A numbed state as I retreat
Away from the call of a
Broken life beyond the heavy metal
Door that symbolizes my mind
As I briefly chat with the barman
To sate my loneliness for a while
Before I sip the final glass
Out cold I become across
the sticky bar stools.
