Last night. I need to know…

What did I eat? Did I even eat?

What show did we watch? Did we even watch?

What did we fight about? Did we even fight?

Last night. Blue bruise on thigh…

How did I get it? Did I stumble in the dark?

Where was I going? Did I even get there?

Why was I going? Did I even know?

Last night. Blurred. Except for this…

I drank too much. I ate too little I bumped into things. I acted a fool. I was mean as a snake. I gave my demon free rein.

This morning. My husband’s face tells me all I need to know.
