Every week they discussed the purpose of poetry in modern society, and every week they came to the same conclusion.

I’d love to say
That two years on
That I have cleaned up my act
But from what I suffered
My body never recovered
And my mind will always be cracked
Old Habits
As my
veins
drip
with
chip
fat
And
my
lungs
marinate
in
tar
I
wonder
if,
perhaps
this
time,
I’ve
taken
things
too
far

The dead so soon grow cold.”

Of some old queen or other”

And wear a golden sorrow.’
