Whiskey and Water

This all started
When I started on the whiskey.
I told you how it made me
Feel lighter and less young,
Squeezing life from the last
Of your worn leather hands.
Something split
In and out with it,
Like our visible habitual breath.
Even if I could convince
These angry man hands to turn
On the tap for the ocean,
The desert wants water
Without getting wet.
