Tonight Mexican

Tonight Mexican

Tonight
we went out for dinner
she and I

Tonight
she told me I never put her first
neither her Dad nor I

Tonight
I told her she was always first
in the midst of many obligations

Tonight
she thanked me for finally being honest
she meant me to feel eviscerated

Tonight
the birds are not at rest
Tonight Mexican

  1. Sounds like a difficult conversation over dinner, Willow. I struggle with the idea of putting someone 'first.' I more like to think of people being 'important' and valuable but not having a first and second and third attached. That is hard, truly hard, when someone has expectations of first.
