pappy
spoiled, sour[/font]
Wild Irish Rose[/font]
fumbling in the dark[/font]
while I pretend to doze
[/font]putrid breath panting[/font]
fervent, loud and hot[/font]
I curl my body inwards[/font]
hoping I'm not caught[/font]
[/font]
mouth like a gray gash[/font]
old lips, rough and dry[/font]
c[/font]aked in spittle and regrets[/font]
I’m phlegmatic and cannot cry[/font]
[/font]sin and decay, sweetly cloying
[/font]his clothing reeks of mold[/font]
I don’t think I was very good[/font]
but I am only four years old.[/font]
