Bitterness, sweetly softened
by thick cream that swallows
that dirty brown darkness whole
spin the spoon, and grip the handle
another sip, another taste of
bitterness sweetly softened.

I saw her at the
Crossroads, black dog at her heel
A torch in her hand
Another drink, a day gone
Torch burning in the darkness
