he wept then
the light from the streetlamps
blinded him

it was painful
but it was not as painful
as saturday
with an empty bottle
of *****

he wept then
and it was acid
went out spewing out
from his eyes
his mouth
on the side of the avenue

it was painful
to let the dumb demons in
to let the dumb demons out
and the ensuing hangover
came from all those demons
chewing off the pavement

and he wept
and threw up
and let go
