Red-Wine Handed

You caught me red wine handed

With stained teeth

From bleeding gums

Like a jager bomb had gone off 

In my head

Leaving television static

You caught me in a locked bag

But everyone

Has a set of keys

You caught me under tall glass

As I scuttled 

Across the floor

And lifted me with paper easy

And sent me 

Tumbling out the window

You found me bespectacled

With someone 

else’s prescription

You left me tongue tied

With some fancy 

Childhood knot

You left me headless

Clutching, clawing

At the floor

You got me bang to snakebites

And it’s worse 

than you thought
