Terror
Terror is waking up
abruptly in a barroom
eye to eye with
a man you don’t
remember ever
having seen before
breathing words like
fire down your
throat in the awful
silence of a dream
not a dream
Alan Catlin worked for the better part of 34 years in his unchosen profession as a barman in and around the greater Albany, NY area. He has published dozens of chapbooks and full-length books focusing on his work and the people he met while laboring in the trenches of bar warfare.
