Gin as tonic
The Weight of
melancholy
Hangs
heavily
Over her
still
though an empty bottle
that Rolls
across the floor
attests to
an hours-long
Binge,
willfully
Drunk,
the Plan
to slake
the ache,
Shake loose
the thorns
that pierce
her skin
her mind
her heart;
alas,
she cannot
but Fail
and bleed tears,
Blubber,
loud and ugly,
while spooning
ice cream
sprinkled
with snot.
