A Little Less Melancholy

 

Most nights I can’t sleep. One night in August, with the windows wide open, the sounds of the wolves who live on the hill across the road come through the night with various degrees of clarity. The rest is history. Oh, except the drinking part. Poetic license. I drink very little over 12 months. Rarely would be the word. Please exercise caution if you do drink.

A Little Less Melancholy


The wolves were howling 

On a clear summers night

Talking to each other

With contagious delight

I sat sipping on my whiskey

And she on her wine

When she said she felt 

A little less melancholy

It was then I knew she would be fine
