poem on the spins

my most worst habit is excess. 
when i drink, i drink too much, 
and then some more. 
when i smoke, same thing. 

i invite an exciting stranger, 
Forgetfulness, 
to my lips. 
she beheads me 
but lets me keep my head. 

so i go home so that i might 
offer my head to the Moon. 

the Moon kisses my forehead
she puts a secret inside. 

Moon, how do you stand it? 
bound to the Earth, 
yet you can come no closer. 

and the Moon spins her yellow skirts. 
you mean 
                         like this?
separation is what allows me 
                        to exist! 

how shortsighted is your fear of death, 
that you don't enjoy the spinning days? 

then i vomited.
