One Poem By Moses Victor Jassa  

“Struggle from the Wag” by Moses Victor Jassa examines alcoholism. The poet paints a vivid picture of a liquor addict with related imagery and beautiful metaphors. I am delighted to share this piece with you.

Struggle from the Wag

To fugitives
 

I have the orientation of a toggle stitches 

Layed down beside my bare minimum of consideration 

Vallies talked to each other while 

I lay in thrift tension 

This circle within

That plays my head 

A gunshot of prediction 

A hope vanquished 

Lost in the hands of lame dibbles 

A calm touch from a voracious tame 

Shook my hand with a sweet acid 

A tasty drink that left me wanting 

Sold into bottles for liquor license 

An obedient servant to brands of  liquor

Slimming down the appetite of a sourly tasty throat 

Scavenging to defeat this drowsiness 

But left to defend this ugly thing with pride 

Battling with the defense of being free 

Free from alcoholism 

Since none knows 

Of my dating with secret loneliness

I kept it for when my creative maker will atone 

But am I vanquished?
