    The hands of the clock point to the four and the twelve,
    darkness tells her it's AM.
    The burnt stub
    of the marijuana stuffed carcass
    of a Phillie cigarillo
    lies smoldering on the coffee table.
    Cheap tequila margaritas
    the reason for maxed out credit cards.
    Somewhere a faucet drips
    like Chinese water torture.
    The candles burn out,
    smoke rising like mushroom clouds
    left by atomic bombs.
    Her leopard print stilettos
    matched the bed sheets.
    But still, inky tears stain her face
    like black hair dye streaks
    down the porcelain bathroom sink...
