storm
and then they roost
on another of his lists
stub pencil lines thick upon
the crinkled sheets
the words queuing
for another fag
for another cough
another drink
until final arrives
incongruously
all wiggly fingers and toes
the poem is born
a cry without tears
for the poet it is
smiling
through all his muddy lies
a glint
