A Poem by
Emily B
whiskey may be
important, but
i swear,
i've gotten drunker

than i ever did
on bourbon
and I never
mix
the two

Love this because it speaks to me. I love how you can write so much sober. I'm like that too become too tired to write if I drink too much. Yet, I love the taste of whiskey. What makes this poem so perfect and superlative is the mixture of two concepts people wouldn't usually write about together, many would speak about them together, there is an honesty and bravery in being able to pen this sublime poem.

Strange thing, the hangover is worse with words sometimes. Winsome and wry little piece.

I am no Wendy;
but my voice brings you back to me.
And you sit around my feet,
anxious for a story
or a kiss.
Listening to my words
spinning adventures,
like so much g..
