only empty wine bottles

He just wasn’t a bright kid,
mother told the
doctors

“Got his finger stuck in
the bottle
and he panicked and smashed
the bottle against his head.”

Right

Well, it was true that
there were no
other toys for him
around the house. There were
only empty wine
bottles

ever since
daddy left

  1. It has only been in the last 2 years that I’ve been reading poetry. It is a pleasure that I have missed for years. Also, as a writer, I have realized that poetry is a stimulant for my creativity and insight. Your poem moved me. Thank you.
