Keely Newton: Favorites

Ruheen

I finally screamed.
I finally cracked.
Am I meant to feel better?

Am I? I thought I was going to feel better. Lighter. Like I wasn't lying to everyone around me about how I felt.
Whatever.

Beer.

Serendipity

Beer.

Her eyes were that Heineken bottle green,
and her spirit bubbly,
a cold touch
to a warm soul
I got drunk in her love

And I never regretted it.
