The Bottle By Julian Thumm

All glory and shame to the bottle

& the man in its thrall: 

slavemaster, lover & 

dominatrix; 

whispering devil, loose-lipped confessor, 

albatross, anchor,

& final friend. 

Julian is a fledgling poet from Melbourne, Australia. He studied literature and professional writing and now works as a corporate shill, selling his corrupted pen to the highest bidder. His poetry is an attempt to make sense of a lifetime of bad choices.
