#131 last call

listening to her voice
cell phone message
i hang up
order another
stare at my left digitus medicinalis
no mark left anymore
no sign that the band was ever there
when did the last trace leave

i swallow liquid medicine
not enough to be the drunk
just enough to blur the pain
and to stop looking at my finger
trying to forget why i'm drinking
