LAST SUPPER WITH EDDYFLAMES

Turn Around

It’s a new year,

Waking up with my hands on my dreads,

Dragging it backwards intensely and consistently,

It was just days back I held my pen and paper,

Resolution they call it,

But there it was shrunk inside the trash bin,

So much for old habits,

Folks say it dies young,

A bottle of whiskey on my table,

Besides it; cube of ice in a cup,

Calling for a refill,

My ash tray filled with used cigarette sticks,

Flames from the last stick, floating left to my bed,

On my bed, a call girl whose name I know not,

A naked skinny blonde,

I wondered how she share different beds each night,

Gazing at her shape,

Drew my eyes to her bold tattoo,

A crucifix laying on a bed of roses,

Crafted on her waist,

Brought a smile to my face,

Her profession / Her Faith,

Called to attention,

The thought of my deeds came knocking,

I reached out for my bible,

All I got was Hebrew 10:26,

A new path ...
