Poem of the Week: “she’s so lucky”

I’m not sure, this may have appeared on this blog before, but I’m too tired at the moment I write this to do a search and find out. First published in Buffalo Bones.

she’s so lucky

by Linda Adams

she’s so lucky

he don’t bring home no liquor

won’t ever bring in no drunkenness

or bring home

no wild women with big

hair

no fights

no meanness no insults

no dead animals dragged in

by the antlers

no greasy motorcycle parts

strung out

all over the bedroom

she’s so lucky

this time

she don’t know why

she’s uneasy
