At the bottom of a bottle 
On the floor of a bar
Occasionally… 
Behind the wheel of a car 

I find myself 

In bed with strangers
Hands caressing 
Roughly undressing 
Ravenous kisses 

An insatiable appetite 
For being desired

In the afternoon
I find

The gaps in my memory
Do not prevent me from 
     looking forward
