Sitting Outside

 

He sits, comatose, outside his door;

the beer tins, spent cartridges

scattered all around.


She wakes him, suggests dinner;

he insists on having one more,

pulling the trigger releases a gasp.


Next time she comes

he’s slumped back in his chair,

a trail of beer running away from him.
