she liked me lots
she said
smile wide as the sky
‘cos I smelled like trouble
& while
I was checking my ‘pits
she refilled from the bottle
& I fell down into a hole
coming up for air
noticing she wasn’t around
started heading for home
once more all alone
thinking on the night
pitch black swallowing me
all the way down
thinking if I don’t learn
something from this
trouble
will be her name
all over again
