Drag the River

from Winter Break by David F. Bello

/

lyrics

dont drink that much medicine
if you dont feel like throwing up
if you die with your head on my pillow
ill consider myself blessed with luck

i could never dispose of your body
i want to save it in my home
in a room we reserved for
our first baby when hes grown

i was out with my friends drinking
on the night that they found your body
with your backpack still on your shoulders
holding everything that you stole from my family

i wish i had been at the river
when the search party had ceased
surely not with the dogs in the forest
or the missing persons police

with the sunscreen still in my nostrils
and your lisptick still drawn on my glasses
ill apologize to your brother
he can have the books from all of my classes

the sounds from your back porch
wont trip me up anymore
i just need to see the mess off
the clothes splilled on your bedroom floor
