through a glass darkly
I have loved you thus
while the yet cradled edges
prepare their hypothetical apologies
nostalgic deference bows
humbled within the myth..............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My poetic dedication to a very long time dear friend of mine who is very nearly 3 years sober now. I tried to put myself in her view of how she felt about it while she was still drinking as opposed to now nearly 3 years out sober and find the tiniest thread to follow poetically to explain her llong term ove affair with the stuff once.

A sister and a brother

drank all their lives

unable to tolerate an

uncomprehended 

racist box. 

.

More than to cope,

addiction owned

the panoramic view

of unwinnable

existences.
