Druken Eyes

Whiskey drawn tears
	upon a face
		that once sung lullaby’s 
	wiping away cries
		a baby held in tune
			to an old deaf tone
	plastic blue bird

Red, red, red like the blush stained streaks on her face

Green, green like the car that sped on

Yellow like the police tape
	marking off

		-a place for the last
						t
						e
						a
						r

							that fell
	from her
		drunken eyes
