Saturday afternoon

women drinking

sat carefully spaced

out along the bar

faces tended to

painted on

two fisted drinking

pint & a shot

sipping both slow

making them last

quietly under lashes

looking around

hoping for a fish

wanting

a good

Saturday night

no cuts or bruises

to come

please

a little bit

of money

in their purses

Sunday morning

leaving early

quietly

going back

to their

other lives
