POETRY: Goodbye Saturday Night by Sten

Goodbye Saturday Night, I know less now than ever.

A hotel, a lovely place to be lonely

Glance at the tattoo of late night drinker sat to my right

A buxom pirate, entwined in a seprant,

Long dark hair obscuring nipples from sight.

A long sip of warm whiskey,

In mirror behind the bar,

My face hangs,

Unshaven and resigned.

Resigned to mangled bodies

Spewing out of the TV.

Rolling news,

Rolling fear and death.

Wealth

Evaporates

Escaping into the atmosphere

Feeding the suited gods that rest up there.

A long sip of whiskey

Shut out the din

Focus on the pirate girl

Her breasts salty from the kiss of spray.
