Stirred

Amidst the screaming booze

And dancing figures

Where I spun from seat to seat


The devil's red label

Threw my mind to twirl

And circled my body's heat.


I was an ice cube

whirling in alcohol mood

Surrounded by strange beats.



In a still second or two

I thought of you

Who planted poet's seeds.


With your snobbish demeanor,

Yet passionate endeavor,

You threatened my drowning fate.


- A solid vision I held

Dearly before I fell.




As we left the garden of vice

A friend asked how I was


I replied...


I was hit.


Pretty hard.
