Nightgowns

By

We played nightgowns

And boxers.
It was a race of how fast I could be
It was mine alone

Father said.

So we played nightgowns

And boxers.
He said the best games are pain-filled
And he played.

I sleep bare at fifty
Barely sleeping
Night gowns bleed my heart.

Happy New Month Friends! I hope you’re enjoying your new year already. I’m doing my absolute best to. Keep up the new year spirit.
