Poem: Whiskey and Sunsets

 I tell myself to look:

To look up lyrics of songs

the ones that make you feel

everything all at once.

To look up at the stars 

realizing I’m alive

and whole

and divine.

To look people in the eyes

to catch the light of sunrise 

or

the darkness of sunset.

But I looked up once

And caught his eyes

gazing back at mine

and all I can surmise 

is on the eve of sunset

I watched the sunrise

in whiskey laden eyes.
