Drinking Vodka

Like 2 Pin it 0I am dying from
Loneliness in the gutter
On the streets of Moscow
In a pool of my sweat
Without the sweet moments
That I see you have as
You walk into your luxury hotel
Hyatt on Neglinnaya Street
Number 4; with a door and
A restaurant I am dreaming of
To eat inside and a room with satin sheets I cannot wish for sleep enough....
In the warmth of your touch
I am crying in your reach
To go inside with you tonight
To go inside with your lovely beauty
Your love;
I am dying in the street in
Moscow;
In the cold, in the hunger
In the bread and the vodka
In these ragged grey clothes
That are left with me
From the charity
You threw to me,
I am watching you
From the corner of my blinking eye
Walking into your luxury hotel
How I am dreaming
Of walking into your room with you
For that meal in
The restaurant and the hot bath
And warm satin sheets in which
I am dreaming of a life with you,
So I am dying instead
Drinking;
Sinking into vodka
Outside the Moscow Hyatt
On Neglinnaya Street
Number 4;
As you walk in
I am left
Left on the street
The stone street
The hard stone street
Cold in the Moscow night
Drinking Vodka
Drinking Vodka myself to sleep
Myself to sleep
Myself to sleep

Absolutely superb Jai. I like the repetitions of mind like drunk replaying a fantasy or desire over and over in his mind. Really enjoyed the way you constructed and conveyed the drunken death wishes of a homeless man. Brilliant. Peace.
Hello Devon; I try to recreate the adverse
circumstance albeit the actuality much
worse and a prose is a poor cousin
or my version feels so because truth is
stranger than fiction; I see your response and
take this positive feedback to mean I create
an effect; I am sleeping on the street to experience the poverty it is winter here not
Quite Moscow but I aim for this experience so the
poetry is truer. No more words now. Thank
you & love from JaI :)
Hey JAI MASTERS!! ~ this is stellar poetic prose my friend....... the vividness of the imagery floating through my consciousness as I read...... was truly....... transporting.......AMAZING write my brother poet!!.........ALL STARS....... fantastic piece!!....... your friend and admirer......T xo
It's not good to write poetry about
poverty about misery about suffering
I am sinning into other people's plight
with regret, a poem is a representation
not the truth; for that is much worse
