Hotel Room


i unpack my lust
in cheap hotel rooms
of cities i'll never see
i toss it carelessly with
my change and room key
on pressboard nightstands
where my lust sits forgotten
while i shower
and sit gazing
into night dripping with neon
laughter across the hall
an angry horn ten floors below
tear on fingertip
paints lazily on cloudy glass
i scoop it all back
into my pockets
and leave the tv to murmur
alone in an empty room
