YOUNG MOTHER


The young mother
I watched her
She did not watch me


A bottle of vodka inside her
Vision blurred 
like looking through it


We all know how it goes
Where it goes
Into our heads or out our pissholes


The sadness of reaching 
The end
Like a close friend 
Made of ash


We know  how it goes
A handful of kids
A mouthful of trouble
Glug alug


The young mother
I watched her
The empty bottle
She did not watch me
