| Another Damn Love Poem For My Husband |
| by Nicole Henares |
| He is north beach chipped neon
Finnish countryside farm boy from the Helsinki shipyards. I met him in an alley with sweat and slow luck thick and sorry. His guitar said donšt worry baby, whiskey and the blues will bring those dark clouds away. Hešs allergic to my perfume and my cats. He hates poetry readings. But he stares at me with a smile and says, "because I love you," when I ask why. |
