Thirst

In the dark.

Three after midnight
I awake
To find that
The dinner spices
Turned my mouth
Into a dry gutter
Once again

I stumble on wobbly knees
Through a dark,
Silent house
Banging a door;
Bouncing off a corner;
Stubbing a toe;
Groping in the dark
With blind fingers
For an empty glass.

The water bottle is mute.
No gurgle answers
My demand.

Unrequited thirst
Follows me back to bed.
