 Ink in my Blood (poetry edition)
The Vandals

David Waite

we walked in tripped in,
lay down on the velvet couches,
took off shirts and shorts, five kids in the hot tub
tired and sweaty and wasted
sitting around in our underwear.
our clothes hung limp on timbers
stretched across the balcony,
we laughed though we knew we were sinking.

in the morning
the sun raked my body
lying naked in a single bed.
the others slept on, I head one’s
slow, untroubled breath.
head still reeling,
walked out the glass doors
to sit and watch the dawn crawling,
my feet wet in the tall grass.
a white dog laying down beside me
to put his head in my lap.
and though we were misanthropes, laughing as we burned,
we were very lucky bastards
soon to drive on and leave this shame behind us.
