The Last Good Night

Feb 2020:
Vina's, Manchester.

The only time where
I couldn't switch 
jubilation
for disarray.

Bodies, the entire floor,
locked in
love, abandon
until they were not.

I turned in my mic
reclaimed my drink,
there was crying
and blood.

It spilled outside-
on my way 
a girl cried out 
something something

gypsies, family,
something, revenge.
Huddled, cold on the steps, 
trimmed in the clamshell of sympathisers.

I had been singing
Once In A Lifetime,
the dj knew what was coming,
for I was not stopped.
