Bathroom Blues

October 21st, 2011 by Emily Harris For The Retort

from The Rook Volume XIII, 2011
The night's fun halted, paused, put on
Hold, and paid for as I straddle the
Rim of this water filled hole.
Oh, how I wish now I
Would have stopped with just the wine.

Unlearned, head dangling over the bowl; inexperience
Passes through my overindulgent mouth.
