drunken stumbling

incoherent mumbling

front door

trying more

key stabbing

handle grabbing

key engages

final stages

opening door

greet floor

sleeping sound

memory rewound

cold awakening

body shaking

ascending stairs

nobody cares

into bed

throbbing head

midday rising

nothing surprising

searching fridge

leftover smidge

beer calling

resistance falling

beer consumed

afternoon doomed

staggering slouch

creaking couch

TV flickers

downing liquors

darkness falls

phone calls

rambling voicemails

disjointed emails

somebody cares

intervention declares

rehab clinic

no picnic

long recovery

new discovery

sober living

self forgiving
