Sadness by Michael Prihoda
You couldn’t handle the way I talked about sadness. As if my parents had said anything else while baby-talking me in the cradle. But I couldn’t handle you, so I guess it’s fair. If anything is anymore.
Michael Prihoda is a poet and artist living in the Midwest. He is founding editor of After the Pause and his work can be found in various journals in print and around the web. He loves llamas and the moments life makes him smile.
