once again i lie witness
sober
in the late night drunkenness
so strong
strong as a willow wisp
blowing clearly in the breeze
a willow wisp
without a tree
a base, a trunk,
a grounding within your own roots
a weed has overtaken you,
smothered, suffocated,
kept you warm
in the winter months
comforted you
with kisses and chocolate
chains
attached to your wrists and ankles
