Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Fall (a poem of J.W.) a girl once told me that in our saliva there is a drug and that, locking lips with another, we find there addiction i think i understand a bit of my mother’s need for A.A. now… i am captive lost in an unreal vision of fruit-trees blossoming in the cold heart of winter drunk on red wine and perfect thoughts i picked from the Tree and prayed that you might eat with me. -brian f. mccabe 5/25/99 Written May 25th, 1999 © on Dec 06 2001 09:21 PM PST   0 • 1
