Dad always came home
at eight.
Dinner, like him,
hot and ready.
At some point you forget
to care
that daddy is home.
The mother and wife
of the house is already
sulken and sloshed.
Whymsical metaphors carried
through the hall
of how our hero
conqured the day.
He induldged in drink and sex
as a KING should.
The heir to his thrown....
hiding.
His majesty was a king of wits
he tinkered with nothing
but when somewthing absolutley
needed to be fixed
he did it with a wrench.
And so through these royal lessons
I bowed before greatness
knowing I needed to be fixed
for I spilt the milk
and again would wait till morning
to see him off, blurry
I hugged the king
and smiled
behind my plum colored eyes.

That was good.

Sad but still very good.

Reminds me a little of Sexton's Red Roses for a Blue Lady. You handled the subject without going over the edge and that's not easy to do. Read your Summer on another site and enjoyed it. Hope you'll consider posting something in the CA forum some time.
