Half
By Clint Greagan

It's not enough to wash once after
a night of tedium, the good time
to make a break is gone, the chilled
orgasm cocktails are empty silted
glasses, the CD's are old and bed
is boring. There might have been
a moment to walk through curtains
and find the moon was laughing
at the sight of you, but you can't
return to last night and make it
functional. Soon a collection of
fruitless years will be nothing but
ashes and all the hours of glorious
sadness will be more than half of you.
