Looking a little shaky there ?

 

What makes you think that

Is it the way the tumbler of whiskey is held

Soft rhythmic clinking of ice

Perhaps the passing sirens

Accompanying a scarcely visible trembling knee

Dead give away then when a deafening thudding

From a passing backfired car

Sends chills and sweat even for a sec

The lights warm spark provides brief comfort

Another coffin nail
Adorns the overflowing offering bowl
