Back Then

Back Then

A Poem by Alpris
"

Turning one of my greatest memories into a simple poem.

"

when I was a little s**t

night came too fast;


so did the moon and


its intruder light


it slept soundly across my floral legs


And dripped onto


easel floors




I remember, the old b***h next door


told everyone that


me and my sisters worship the devil


‘cause we liked to



climb the roof


and vomit Metallica things; evil things


jump on the trampoline


until the springs hiccupped painfully


And its elderly silver and orange legs


gave gravelley burps


we liked to



laugh

rich, childish cackles


witches in the dusk’s dunes


‘til master mama summoned us in





now,
the old b***h next door
has moved away


she has been replaced

by indians with bread sewn mouths
