Not its content but its resonance

25 degrees is crazy motherfucking cold here
I take deep breaths after three beers
and feel awake and amused
happy
with this life this year
is a confluence of 38
years
of trying
and flailing and hugging shadows
and thinking the dark
was honey was spark
and the deep
deep
deep
inspiration and ignoring the destruction
destitution
that denial was the Art was
the pre-determined prerequisite for inspiration
the black outs and the bottle counts
somehow
all
clinks
like glass breaking glass
a sharp bright shock
that fades to an unsatisfying
conclusion
that took years
and many bottles
to reach
but whatever
did it
I do not care
God bless you
new year
