vices
for dad collection - 08 / 16 / 21
It’s strange —
how i used to resent my father
or his vices,
when now
i understand why.
Now,
i understand —
how the smoke embraces you
like a lover
and how
the alcohol — fills in the cracks
like grout .
But then again,
lovers don’t last forever
and tiles
need re-grouting.

as rupi kaur said,
" an alcoholic parent does not exist
simply
an alcoholic that could not stay sober
long enough to raise their kids "
