Title: My Papa

My Papas Waltz
  • The whiskey on your breathCould make a small boy
    dizzyBut I hung on like deathSuch waltzing
    was not easy.We romped until the pansSlid from
    the kitchen shelfMy mother's countenanceCould
    not unfrown itself.
  • The hand that held my wristWas battered on one
    knuckleAt every step you missedMy right ear
    scraped a buckle.
  • You beat time on my headWith a palm caked hard
    by dirt,Then waltzed me off to bedStill
    clinging to your shirt.
