Mom’s First Husband

Corey Cook

On nights Joni Mitchell’s voice unspooled from the spinning
record and Mom slouched in front of the speakers, Dad

leaned into the cupboard for SpaghettiOs or Chef Boyardee.
On nights Mom stared at that blue face on the album cover
and traced the name TODD written in unfamiliar block letters

in the upper right corner, Dad tucked us into bed without
washing faces or brushing teeth. On nights Mom sobbed,

cried out, I should have stopped him, Dad lifted the needle,
slipped the cover from her hands and led her down the hall
as he whispered, he got drunk. He got on that motorcycle.
