Eleven to one

Mark Cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)

Free verse
Two hearts beat as one
Eleven to one
Darkness and light
Clash with titans
Tiny little monsters
Eating human beings
When the night and day
Pass away and the sunshine
Crosses the path of a perfect orbit
Sippin on the eternities
Drink at hand brewing
Drugs and pharmacy at glance
Pills jagged edge
In the growling stomach
Restless in the night and the day
Everlasting turns into one
Night and day never-ending
Colors overflow at a feast and banquet
Teething and easy rivers flow
Drugs and alcohol go down
A deep throat
