K

homeless drunk

sleeping besides an old wall
is a drunken  homeless man
he lays there
with his  dirty blankets
 wrapped around him
in one  hand
he is  holding
a  half empty bottle of vodka
his pain
is of
sadness and loneliness
he feels
that he is  isolated from society
and because of this
he turns to alcohol
who soon bcomes his friend
this friend is the wrong friend
but he knows
that this friend is always there for him
