He hates her kisses and embrace,
her wilted wedding dress,
the wedding presents
were filled with Loves' success.

Their parents' praise,
mothers in law's teary faces
told"They'll succeed
better than us".

His returns from the pub
gives her burps
and intoxicated kisses.

He thinks she is frosty
like the ice cubes in a drink
and wet
like the spilled beer
and the rain
that the pub's customers drag in.

He's still thirsty
and she's his hangover.
