Hangover. Poem by john o'connell

Hangover.

Rating: 5.0


the dregs of a late-night
hanging over one,
the aftertaste of alcohol
and tobacco,
the flash backs and twinges
of conscience
after loosening
the tongue.
horrifying reverbations
making one squirm:
'did I really say that? '
and 'no! I couldn't have.'
umpteen apologies,
for the umpteenth time,
to be conjured up.
never, ever, again?

hangover, nature's eye opener and body's reminder to make a false promise...never: -)
