Wesley,

You and your wife have grown on me

Her with her timely straight sentences and interior design sense
the way she always makes me feel like i'm by a fireplace

and you with vigor say every word like liquor

Carefully I've taken the top of your hair to finger length and hers to honey

I'm fond of you and your cussing

Cigarette breath

The half empty cup of coffee you always leave in the eating room 

The bark on your chin and the curve of your back from the surgeries and age 

Yesterday

With a twenty dollar bill and hug you said goodbye 

And Oceans Springs will take you like oceans do
