From glass to glass, lower than the earth.

A single glass of wine: the difference is striking.
I have The feeling of being an out-of-tune guitar, incapable of resonating, with a certain passive enjoyment for this status of uselessness.

Alcohol weighs on souls.
It nails the consciousness to the ground
Lower than earth
An ethanol prison rising around us.

The nights are poor and the streams dry.
Alcohol is a heavy, slow march,
Laborious in a prison-canyon,
A repetitive, infinite landscape unfolding from the same self-generated spaces where the soul traps itself,
At best, it is infinitely bored there,
from glass to glass,
from night to night.
