Goodbye Super Juice

I had it in my grasp before she flew across the table,

Franka’s face aghast,

Yet my hand felt so stable.

I fall to my knees, begging for forgiveness.

Jyoti stares right through me;

My presence here, now meaningless.

Super juice all around me

sends me back to those lonesome nights at sea.

Was it then that I was supposedly free?

Orange, ginger, and turmeric.

That was to strengthen me,

the sick.

Now I find myself lying in the super juice,

face down,

offering nothing but a frown.

The dark hours ensue.

My head rests here until dawn.
