He Is (Free verse) by Sunny
He is someone's son,
while his wife is loathing
him with her every bone;
she becomes bonier
everyday inside his lies.
During the day he
builds houses. Provoking architecture
under a roof with the marble countertops,
the spanish inlayed tiles.
He does it well. In his cap,
he sways heavy at the bar -
tequila laughs at raw divorce,
acrid rum does its numb.
One more glass to finish off
his dad...just one more
bartendar...At three o'clock
a drunk closes his eyes;
ignoring his spilled milk
for his bloody bullies await
beyond the windows.
Look at the child with golden locks
He is a father. He
dissappoints his wife.
He's someone's child.
Watch him sob, watch
him mend; he is someone's human.
