Begin

I sit alone and my muse is not

Red glows the end of my cigarette
In the dark I sit again
Focusing on the nothing before me
I flick unseen ash nonchalantly

Thoughts mix with acid and spin 
Scratch at my forehead with thumb
I reach with my other hand
A half drunk mug of none

Lights dance in the distant haze
Marking time so slowly with me
Focus slightly smeared as I view
Tears smudge the rising sun

Another day I live to see
Another day I live to die
As blood of my blood stays on skin
Rust coats my wrists, begin
