the breeze died empty
on this autumn weekend,
set free to vanquish
into sunday funnies,
her short breath tart
of almonds and sulfur.
the night keeps edging
my reckoning to the sidelines,
for a while past echoes
until at last no longer
yet forever sadly yearning
for the comfort and the stupors
of a tanqueray morning
drained dry.
