My Baby

Today I was everywhere.

The column of bluish smoke
rises to heaven
fine and ethereal

critical and useless
as my fateful heaviness also does.

Today I was everywhere
tired, exhausted,
I asked

I insisted
I continued
I persisted
without result.

Another day without work,
without money for bread,
without milk for the baby,
without pacifists silences,
with fights and dislikes;
I am better going to the bar!
if I get drunk she does not say anything,
she is afraid of me
when I am drunk,
she quivers when feels my breath …

Yeah, I will better go to the bar,
I’ll take a few wedding dressed beers
and
I’ll forget all the matter about employment.

But, wait!
I have no money,
How can I pay for the drinks?
I do not pay them
somebody drunk enough will bid them to me
if I’ll take conversation out of him
and we’ll chat about women or soccer.

Yes, I am going to the bar better,
and I will forget about the employment
about that mad woman of my wife

about the annoying weeping of my baby…

My baby!

My beautiful baby…

No, I’d better go back home

And I’d take the cascade of reprimands

and then I will go to sleep,
so I’ll get up very early
to seek for a work
in order to give the milk to my baby

My baby!

Sweet. I have a baby of my own. Five months as of now. Children are our inspiration to work hard.

Very well done. You showed what can go through a man’s mind, the thoughts that plague especially during hard times.

Enjoyable work. Struggles of life and the conscience of man.

Very expressive. I wish more fathers would make that same choice.

WOW! How deep was that to read. From the depths of your heart, and what was in your mind & soul. I loved it. Thank you so much for a piece of art that so many can relate to, both male & female! Keep up the great work!

Hi, how are you?
I like this one a lot, it has internal conflict, and that gives it more resonance. Good job! Thanks for sharing.
