Goodbye, My Lush...

by Shawn Klimek

sloe gin, at high speed



Her dress was askew. Her hair looked like a tumbleweed flattened by a truck.


 She had slipped down off her seat and was groping drunkenly for the dashboard.
Goodbye, my lush, I thought bitterly. I’m leaving you.


We had both been drinking, but tomorrow as usual, only I would remember.  
As I prepared to leave, my heart ached and it got harder to breathe.  I still loved her.


Then I saw a puddle pooling at her feet, staining her skirt. 
To hell with this, I decided.


Taking a deep breath, I kicked out a window and swam for the surface.
