Liquid Love. by Linda Imbler

Her fireside

tears do not help warm her cold heart.

Wood turns to ash

as does their dead love.

So many years ago,

before the drink took hold,

all tears were honest,

as were her words.

They no longer drown in each other’s eyes.

She now only drowns in the glass.
