the drink
The Kid stood
close by
while his soul
poured itself out
over the barroom floor in
front of the lonely
young singing girl.
He cried when she
drank it straight
off the floor like a
horse with cottonmouth,
and then started to
sing a sad sad love song
about his broken heart,
drunk with the pain his
soul sent down her
lovely throat
