Lover’s Promise

Salt licked lips

Shot swilled, swallowed

Lemon luscious savior

Repeat, repeat, repeat

Unending lovely loop

Halted only by

Porcelain base bruise

Forehead on fire

Arms clinging, clumsy

To the toilet base

Stationary sway, shimmy

(Spins, please go away!)

"Never again!"

I vow, prostrate on the floor

(Until next time)

Love

Intoxicating
