Portrait of a Room: Further Sketches

The curtains let light through,
yellow, and then blue
as morning's hungover glow
moves towards afternoon's
guilt-laden bough of low-shadowed leaves
and into evening's angled eaves, and I
angle my arm, tragically bent
and lain forlorn
across the right plane of my face;
my only supine position if formerly drunk,
each time, for a minute or two.
