PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Eyes opened to the sounds

of the neighborhood

peeked squint eyed

through the window

ambled to the coffee pot

legs unhinged at the knees

bouquet of ground beans

percolating

caffeinated aroma

bursting in the air

on a star spangled

alcoholic morning

his hangover

a rapacious radar

attracting serendipitous

smells sights and sounds.

clock clanged ten o’clock

inspected his face in the mirror

vacant eyes an alcoholic gaze

perfume from the night

scent still emanating

from the tousled bed.
