Bringing Home the Bacon

 by Brett Rutherford

You’re late. Is that dinner?
Put your club by the door.
The child is not home yet,
God knows where’s it’s gone.
Maybe for good this time.

Sit. The broth is ready.
Same as yesterday.
What’s in the sack? Looks
like it’s still moving.
Is that blood on your mouth?
