How I Wanted To Drown
January 27, 2014
I did not know how I wanted to drown
Whether in love, liquor or the sea
So I walked to the shore side bar on 52nd
And drank my fill of the three
Every night I came out soaked but still breathing
I never met a woman deep enough to drown me
Or a bottle tall enough to trace a smile across my face
But with the lead feet of a drunk and the lead heart of a scorned lover the sea was appealing enough to swaddle me like a child.
