Christmas

drank a large bourbon
knock out punch
fell asleep on the sofa
tryin' to spy the moon

woke a little later
had to go upstairs
brushed teeth in a haze
hit the sack an' snored

no dreams I remember
just the warmth of night
delicious mortal warmth
of earthbound incarnation

how long will it last for
who is to ever know?
could be gone forever
in the curl of a toe

woke to the ringin' phone
Tamdin from India
wishing me Merry Christmas
it was Christmas Day

lay in a half haze
talked to her and the kids
nieces and nephews
all was well then I rose

got myself together
splash of water on my face
quick brush of the teeth
rituals then meditation
