Heroin 2 Poem by Tamir Greenberg

Heroin 2



When the needle presses and enters your arm,
You'll sigh in surrender, as if in rapture.
Hunched for three minutes, in a world of your own,
You'll then lift your head, and you'll give me a smile.

By now it's routine. Bit by bit money's drained.
To provide for you I'll put the car up for sale.
At night, as we lie limbs and souls entwined,
I'll whisper: 'Tomorrow'll be better. It will.'
