Morning After
Morning After - meaning Summary
Hangover and Domestic Tenderness
The speaker recounts a rough, drunken night and a dream of being in hell, then wakes to find a sleeping partner whose loud snoring startles him. The poem shifts from physical sickness and disorientation to a domestic, humorous plea: the speaker addresses his lover with affectionate exasperation. The voice is colloquial and intimate, mixing vulnerability, comic relief, and tenderness as the personal aftermath of excess becomes a moment of human connection.
