Southern Comfort Poem by Dorsey Baker

Southern Comfort



She has a room
below and behind the stairs
the stairs that lead to a wooden door
she waits for the doorbell to ring
she hears the sound of footsteps
she is fragile and small
she wears a nice necklace
she takes a sip of whiskey
from a smokey looking glass
she will hide her discomfort
with a show of calm
she walks over to the table
and blows the candle out
its time to give another performance!
