bataylo and Lorine Niedecker's

 

He Drinks

To forget his thoughts and hide

from his trauma.

He married

to forget

Someone.

He laid with her

Hiding from the world and everyone.

heart to heart

in the bed face to face

In the bed.

light shined through

birds chirping

he smiled

he did not

Drink today.

Too much.

he speaks

He’s married

and living in peace.

No drink.
