MARLA WILSON


		        Alcohol

	
		bottled horrors
		in greens and browns
		withholding agony
		emitting fear
		the bitter breath
		of abuse
		the sullen face
		of inebriation
		corrupting sweet skin
		barging into
		pure souls
		packaged deceit
		innocence and experience
		clashing roughly
		the last quavering drop
		vaporizing faith
		blossoming pain.
