My Final Stand
Empty bottles 
echoes of better times 
torrents of thoughts adarken
a final revelation waiting
the length of a piece of string or
bullets loaded for the Russian roulette 
the spinning bottle always lands on
me but in the end it does not matter as
long as someone refills my bottle and
squeeze the trigger till clicks follow
clicks and the noose is firmly tightened 
as someone kicks the bucket 
my final stand
