FOUR IN THE MORNING OR TALKING WITH GHOSTS

the hour of the suicidal is approaching

there is still some vodka and a few cigarettes

around there are some friendly ghosts of the dead

 

the key in the prayer book

talks to me about what could come

or end irretrievably

 

my dead persons surround the table in a tight circle

drink with me laugh tell jokes

learn how to turn the key from the other side
