Handsome Family So Much Wine
I had nothing to say on Christmas day when you threw all
your clothes in the snow.
When you burnt your hair, knocked over chairs, I just
tried to stay out of your way. But when you fell asleep
with blood on your teeth, I got in my car and drove away.
Listen to me, Butterfly, there's only so much wine you
can drink in one life and it will never be enough to save
you from the bottom of your glass. Where the state
highway starts I stopped my car.
I got out and stared up at the stars. As meteors died and
shot cross the sky, I thought about your sad, shining
eyes.
I came back for my clothes when the sun finally rose but
you were still passed out on the floor.
