Timid recollections

Cloudy days and boozy drinks

Life-changing moments

Oesophagus burns

Water and ginger swallowed

To relieve the pain

Words thrown around late

At night while the house slumbers

After a long day

I seek to impress

Seeking depth in brevity

Meaning in haiku

I think five will do

Six is a little too much

Four is not enough
