Good-bye
You are saying good-bye to your last drink. There is no lover like her: bourbon, big gem in your palm and steep fiery blade in your throat, deadeye down. None like her but her sister, first gin, like your first seaswim, first woman whose brine took to your tongue, who could change the seasons of your cells like nothing else. Unless it was wine, finally your only companion, winking across the table, hinting in her rubies, her first-class labels, of her peasant blood and the coarse way she would open you.
Good-bye, beauties. You don't want to say it. You try to remember the night you fell out of the car and crawled to the curb, the night two of you stood screaming over your daughter's crib. You remember deaths by gin, by easy capsules- the friend who fell in silence and the friend who quoted Antony in his suicide note. All this helps for a moment, till your heart blooms and stiffens with desire.
- Joan Larkin
