Party at Tim's place

2.
Tim's eyes were
wet like something left outside
for the frost and slugs. But it was
his lips, really, that committed
his face to
bewildered
sleaze
when he caught me in the doorway,
offended I'd turn my head
to the clean cavernous light
of a room
I never expected to find him in.
