Small Hour Wisdom

Michael Morrissey


Time around one am.
Five vodkas in

and the moment comes
a moment most wise

when I know why
I've reached it

– to tell some home truth
not dared to be uttered

while sober. There –
I've said it

the earth did not stop
the moon did not fly

out of orbit. The sun
still kissed my eyes.

In the morning
I won't remember this.
