Literature Text

The boards in this dive,
soaking up my blood
just like they soaked up dad's
and granddad's before him,
and it's like they say.
Thicker than water,
'cause water would clean up
easier.
National Poetry Month, Day 25
Still behind.

The last two lines make me think not only of cleaning blood up, but what the rest of the poem says--blood is a bond that holds.
