mezcal

i am

spicy

bitter

tingles

in my

feet i

am the

last two

shots fired in the

bottom of the bottle i am

mezcal (dusty, clean) i am 

sex in the dirty bathroom

i am broken, high / heels 

clacking on the tiles (click, 

CLACK, click, CLACK) 

i am mezcal (dusty, clean)

i’m falling to my feet my

head is tingling drunk my

heart (heavy) emotionless

i am surviving (bottled)

i am empty (i am)
