This is the second month of the year I turn thirty-seven.
Already the weather is warming in southeast Texas, rushing
The weeks along; the trees have to work to keep up. One day
I'll look over my head and the elm will be leafed out,And then it will be summer. And probably I'll be working

I'm looking for poems about drugs and/or addiction.

Some of my favorites are already in my memories, such as:

Jones // Cheryl Burke - http://theysaid.livejournal.com/1798441.html
Heroin // Charlie Smith - http://theysaid.livejournal.com/1248646.html
La Vie En Rose // Hubert Selby Jr (spoken word poem) - http://theysaid.livejournal.com/1295443.html
Iris Circle, Again // Tony O'Neill - http://contempoems.livejournal.com/135152.html
Heroin // Bob Hicok - http://theysaid.livejournal.com/1114086.html

... I'm sure there are more (I REALLY need to organize my memories) but here are a few examples of my very favorites.
