Addiction

You -
my heady
hangover
make my
head reel
in whirling
dervish
complexity
and
tumble-weeded
emotion
to wonder
why your smile
turns insides
outward-upside-down
into a rapidly
beating heart
and soul to
fall
so
ever
hopelessly
into
love-sick
drunken
happy
stupor.
And yet
I keep
on
drinking
it
all
in.
