Precious child
Warm and heavy
Asleep in my arms
Smiling unconsciously
Toothless grin
Dreaming of your last drink
Nothing dearer, sweeter, more beautiful
Exhausted, red eyes roving
Stench of urine
Vomit stained shirt
Why, homeless man, do you seem less human?
My baby daughter wears your same perfume
Warm and heavy
Asleep in my arms
Smiling unconsciously
Toothless grin
Dreaming of your last drink
Nothing dearer, sweeter, more beautiful
Exhausted, red eyes roving
Stench of urine
Vomit stained shirt
Why, homeless man, do you seem less human?
My baby daughter wears your same perfume
