First Line: Morning is a dingy room
Last Line: And the lost, lost sea!
Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Morning; Sea; Sun; Wine; Ocean
Morning is a dingy room,
cluttered with empty bottles
and sticky gin-scented glasses. . .
A sickly sun slinks in,
revealing the soiled linens
and disorder there. . .
If this is morning,
Must morning be?
Oh, Christ for the plains
and the lost, lost sea!
