Cold Hell of Morning

We clash lips at dawn and
recoiling from the fumes
of last nights red wine
and cigarettes that
stain our teeth and minds.

You amble a shambles to
the cruel light of dawn,
feet touching cold lino
to watch a kettle
so slow to boil.

Last night we rolled
up the carpets and
took the first
sips of decadence
that would drown
us in the morning.

Until 'what the hell'
accompanied by more
clinks, chinks and theories
expounded under
the smoke of
newly awakened,
uninhibited wranglings.

This grey light
does nothing to
the glow of last nights
drunken orgies
that left us
aching with parched
tongue and filtered
awareness.

I love you babe
body odour and all
We all stink in
the first light
but smell so sweet
at night

Your poems are shifting into a higher gear, they're packing a punch, to borrow your phrase.

Ah the morning after n all it's soiled dimensions. But the grit of love is always there to repair the cracks.
