I trickled down your lips like a thick red wine
accidentally spilled, in the midst of a hearty laugh
falling rapidly to the floor, leaving stains
but pleased to have touched you in the first place.

I went to your head and made you foolish
poor decisions piled over you like drifts of snow
plastic-bottle vodka often does that to young women.
You woke up tasting vomit and regretting me already

I showed in your doorway, amber like finely aged whiskey
You couldn't help but deny me then,
saying you weren't a fan of the hard stuff anymore.
I asked you why you'd changed your mind,
and told you that I was in fact cheap beer


I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.
