scotch on the rocks

it's an old
ice
tray,
circa 1958,
handed down
by my
father.
the one
he used when drinking
to forget
what he couldn't
forget.
it's the metal kind that
you have
to pull the handle back
with all your
strength
and might
before the cubes come
tumbling out.
sometimes you
can't let
go of things, being
the sensitive man
you are.
