The Wild God Asks for Whiskey

"The Wild God Asks for Whiskey" - oil on paper, 16.6 x 22.  This item is unmounted and unframed.

When your wife calls down,

You close the door and

Tell her it’s fine.

You will not let her see

The strange guest at your table.

The wild god asks for whiskey

And you pour a glass for him,

Then a glass for yourself.

Three snakes are beginning to nest

In your voicebox. You cough.

​

- from Sometimes a Wild God by Tom Hirons
