Poems
Jun 2017
(but only if you aren't afraid of the answer)
Open a can in front of her
and then ask her why
she flinches
at the sound.
Ask her why
the mere scent of beer
coaxes stomach acid up
her throat.
Go on, ask her why
her childhood memories
are tainted
by an alcoholic fog.
Ask her why 'father'
is a six letter word,
and each letter
is holding a 30-pack of misery.
