LOST AT DUSK


patricia says that happiness
is not far away
it's closer than i think
the morning will only
bring us rain
i think i am lower
than i fear

bitter sentiment
tears inundate
these clocks around me
this reticent bed
lost at dusk
drunk and full of rancor
my lips are frozen
my heart is obtuse
no use, too bruised

we all have our ways and
bad habits
we wait for love
to give us what we lack
i'm telling you
this adversity has driven me
right into a collapse

bitter sentiment
tears inundate
these clocks around me
this reticent bed
lost at dusk
drunk and full of rancor
my lips are frozen
my heart is obtuse
no use, too bruised

love, i lost hours and hope
love, i lost air and strength
