Whiskey Lullaby

through the smokey haze
and flickering neon lights of
a place he refers to as home

sightless myopic eyes
attempt to vainly focus

while the jukebox plays a whiskey lullaby

Bravo!!!!! Your work is always a treasure but it ended too soon!!!!! This is a poem that needs to go deeper into the train wreck of this broken soul.

You poem makes me scream for more and that is a reflection of your talent!
