dusk arising

without drinking

             I stand alone
              while I  drown
               without drinking

Would be so drunk
to drift off
away without
sleeping

and what of today
wasting time
just a day for
safe keeping

breaking the dark
dreaming a dance
in the park
never speaking

throw me a line
to rattle
and chime
half completing
          
                 standing alone
                   to silently drown
                   without drinking
