Better Than Any Yin Or Yang Poem by Joshua Bantum

The sideways light always knocks me awake,
The hangover.
Since I’ve been broke,
I miss it,
It’s the subtle hell
Reminding you something is beautiful in death
And torture
No beer is ever better then when it takes away the ache
Like an x-girlfriend
They both wake me up
Attacking my head
Eventually both blow away

I just have to start drinking again
But then I’ll be alone, for you won’t have any of that.
And in that self torture I still dream of you,
Hoping you’re there in the morning,
Instead of my bottles reflecting light,
Splitting me like the sun
